I have always loved signs of all kind. I still giggle when I see “EAT GAS” wording on signs. btw. I like billboards..I know all the reasons against them, however I still like them. I am glad that I am old and fun things were along highways etc.
I'm with you on signs for sure! Billboards I have more mixed feelings about, although some of my favorites are the makeshift ones in more rural areas. A farmer that's allowed a flatbed with a plywood sign to park next to the interstate, that kind of thing.
So much of it varies by local market, ownership, etc. Sometimes a sign remains but the property is gone. Sometimes the place is still there but it's been taken over for another use (apartments, offices, etc). But often, these places are just left to rot at the side of the road, especially if there's not demand for something else. Thanks for reading, Amelia!

The realignment of I-95 away from Route 1 in Downeast Maine really affected that area from a tourism standpoint. Sad to see!
