The wall on Curtis Hunt’s barber shop in Linden says it all. It is certainly funny and easy-going. Just like Curtis himself.
Here once was a business in Linden that had too many signs.“My Father’s Deli” was its name at the time. Still, it engendered goodwill and good conversation.
In Bloomburg, home of things that bloom, the local Lady Bug Plant Farm business owner can turn anything into a sign.
This sincere sign appeared at one of the several libraries in Cass County recently. Notice it is a hand-crafted message and is signed with love.
This Faith Pentecostal Church sign certainly has a big message. Even though it is located off the road on the western side of Atlanta, it makes for a fine impression.
On a tree near Smyrna in Cass County, the road signs are backed up with a Biblical sign. It is pointing to another direction. The passerby might well consider taking.
Upon this anonymous wall, someone has attempted to evoke a smile from you.
Signs, Signs- Everywhere Signs
Signs are wonderful. Consider how unsettling it would be if there were no signs. We’d be lost.
We tolerate signs singularly or in bunches, and there are almost never too many of them. It’s irritating when our view is cluttered by signs, but still it’s a comfort. Better too many than too few.
Recall that great moment in literature when Robinson Crusoe — who’d lived by himself on that island for 28 years, two months and 19 days — discovered footprints in the sand? He shivered at that sign and went to his cave to get his gun and bullets.
Think of Neal Armstrong and his footprint on the moon. That will certainly send some celestial extra-terrestrial back to get his hydrogen weapon.
When we walk or drive around Cass County, we see and read signs that give us good feelings about ourselves. Even signs that are only numbers keep us safe.
We realize that the stranger who comes to visit us will see our signs and get an impression of what kind of people we are, what we call ourselves and what our character is like. Signs tell off on us.
In the seven signs shown here from around our county, note that two of them are religious, two of them are funny, two of them are business-like and one of them says we read a lot.
That’s about as good measure of life in Cass County as it gets. Take your seven sign photos one day and see what you come up with. Note that if you try to find negative signs, ones that threaten, insult or exclude, you’ll be hard pressed to find many ... or any.
Take note of the signs you see. Have a good spirit, smile, be business-like in your dealings and read or educate yourself.
You’ll fit right in with us.
