Well...there goes the neighborhood

I'm sure everyone has seen those cheap signs that people put out alongside the freeway, the roadway, or some other thoroughfare. You know, the signs that say "KB Homes this way" or "Painting and Electrical Work Call (602) 555-5555" or even "Make $200,000 a week just by looking for rare stamps."

I consider most of these advertisements to be a large inventory of eye filler. You peruse for a glance or two and when you realize that rare stamps probably aren't as common as bad Southwestern art is in Arizona, you move on. But the sign I saw yesterday actually got me to pay attention. So much so that I went back and took a picture. I guess there's a market for everything these days.
