[Leica] Sign 2019 #5

[CartersXRd]

My artistic bias should NOT be confused with widespread disintegration of the USA.

While rural areas and small town centers are losing businesses, there is still plenty going on. Lots of chains and bigbox stores have sprung up on the edges of towns. I just think their signs either look like shit or are just not interesting to me.

Things tend to be left rather than removed here. It’s the South, for years the home of the infamous hookworm, which a public health friend of mine always insisted was the reason for so many junk cars in yards in North Carolina. A physiolgical pace became a cultural one over time.

The signs I collect are not signs of American Armeggedon, for that I’d have to attend a Trump rally.
