I didn't expect to find such wisdom on the marquee of a gas station in Greenville, AL, but there it was....
The South overflows with signs. Big ones. Little ones. Hand-painted ones. Political ones. College team preferences ones. And, best of all, threatening ones on church marquees. This blog is inspired by those church signs, but won't be limited to them.

Coming Soon.
I really believe that this is some sort of threat targeted toward the neighbors. I ran across this one about 1/4 mile from my home. I don't believe for a minute that a trailer park is about to go on that piece of property because it is way too valuable. Plus, I don't think that the city even allows mobile homes anymore. The only ones that are still in existence are grandfathered in, and can't be replaced. But I love the sign, because if it is a threat, it is SOOOO something that I would do.

Blooming Idiots.
This is one that I have passed many times over the years in the middle of nowhere, between Waynesboro, MS & Mobile, AL. They used to be a small plant nursery, but they may have finally given that up and only grow summer veggies now. The name is perfect, though.

The Martin Project.
A purple martin sits atop one of the 12 condos that sit just out in Mobile Bay at the Fairhope Pier.
Fairhope is serious about its birds. And for the bird enthusiast, there is even an annual Alabama Coastal BirdFest, which centers around the Fairhope area.

Summer Produce.
There is an unwritten law in the south that one must not pass by the hand-lettered produce signs without stopping to at least investigate the offerings. And it is rare event to leave empty-handed. We picked up an elusive 'sugar baby' watermelon. These two wonderful produce markets are in the tiny community of Wilmer, AL.
