A few more shots that signs play an important role in. The photo of Mrs Byrd standing in front of her menu board was shot around 2005. My wife and I had breakfast there every Friday morning. We were able to have a substantial meal for a total of $6. The diner was built by Mrs Byrd and her husband in 1947. Shortly after I made the photo she sold the diner. I sat vacant crumbling into the earth until a month ago when it was demolished. The diner sat at the intersection of the Dixie and Lee highways, Dixie Lee Junction as it is known.

Seeing you opened this thread I'll post this sign I shot a few years ago at the DMZ.
