Home Town Pride: Chappell, NE
I love reading small town signs. They are so full of pride and can tell you everything you need to know about the people who live there. Let me start a new series today to document and share some of the best I've seen..
Love it!
Have a sign that you want to share?

My habit is to take pictures of small town signs, then troll to social media haha...a weird kind of habit. But i really like this sign..Nebraska.. cool name with nice slogan :)
Love this sign! Honestly, I don't think I've paid much attention to these signs in the past. Definitely going to be keeping an eye out for them now to see what I can glean about the town's personality.
My husband and I have taken quite a few long distance driving trips and we love looking at the different town or city signs and the state signs. Next trip, I will take a few pictures myself. A great way to document a trip!
Oh my goodness, there are some of the most hilarious signs in Europe-we've spent entire afternoons trying to figure out what the pictures mean. Thanks for jogging my memory, I totally need to pull out some of those as well!
Great sign. I love small towns. I remember when I graduated high school, my husband (my best friend at the time) drove from New Jersey to upstate New York. He still gets a giggle to this day over reading the sign when he approached our home. "Welcome to the village of Medina." He loves to say that he always thought that only Africa has villages!
Love your point about small town signs...never thought about it before but I agree! I love small towns in general... very nostalgic and so much more comfortable than bigger cities. :)
Have never thought about looking at the signs. This is a great idea. I might have to see what we have here when I travel. :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids always try to pick out signs when they are traveling. We have seen some weird ones in our travels. :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't really seen many signs as I don't drive or really travel much but this makes me want to keep a look out when I enter a small town.

ReplyDeleteThat's a super cool idea! I have seen some neat signs, as I have traveled quite a bit. I'll have to start taking photos to share them like this! :)

I used to take a lot pictures of the signs when we lived in Europe. I still will stop and take one every now and again.
ReplyDeleteI love reading town signs too! (celebbabylaundry.com)

ReplyDeleteDefinitely do! Even if it's just a sign with the name and elevation or population, you can still learn something!
ReplyDeleteCorinne, I'm curious for you to start with your own town's sign or slogan. I'd love to hear it!
ReplyDeleteThat's the exact kind of cheesiness that makes small towns great!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some of the weirdest ones!
ReplyDeleteWhat a quaint sign! I look forward to you sharing more x
ReplyDeleteThat's a catchy sign! I always read signs especially if we are traveling long distance.
ReplyDeletehaha - that's funny their saying. i wonder if it is true
ReplyDeleteThat's a great sign and a great way to remember how to spell the city name! What fun!

ReplyDeleteI love this... our town used to say a place where you live, work and pray. They have since changed it but I loved that motto when we had it!
