I have fallen a few days behind on my A to Z posts this year, but I will get them all. This year I am doing signs that I have seen across the country. This post will feature signs associated with the Letter S. ENJOY THE RIDE!
We can’t avoid signs. They are everywhere. Advertisements, informational signs, directional signs, business signs and, sometimes, even humorous and fun signs. Each of my posts in this years’ challenge will feature a hodgepodge of signs I have come across in my travels. In most cases, I’ll also note where they were taken. Some were actually inside of shops or otherwise, so not all will have locations. I hope you enjoy this fun trip each day of April.
The letter S is a surefire way to create content for a post. There are so many signs with the letter S. I will start off on a holiday feel with Santa Claus — Ho Ho Ho
