I grew up in a small suburban town, Union NJ. What was cool about it was that the town still had some leftovers from its rural past. For example this IDEAL DAIRY sign that I passed everyday going to school in 1970s.  Its long gone but this would look great on an O Scale layout. |

I was born in Perth Amboy, went to High School in Sayreville (boyhood hometown of John BonJovi). We met in college, we both went to Rutgers. we are both kids of the 80s/90s. Small world. Billboards are certainly not what they use to be and not as many exist. I think the Internet has taking over the advertising dollars these days. |

Some of the funniest and best billboards out there today are by Chic-Fil-A. They would be a fun filled edtion to a layout.

The South of the Border signs (with Pedro) along 95 that we used to see as we drove down to Florida, something we did a fair bit, were always fun and built up some suspense. Of course, South of the Border these days has lost its luster and is very run down. Wonder how much longer it will exist.

Not a bill board but a town up the road from where I grew up had Three O NINA. Large fiberglass cow named "Three-O-Nina" has stood along Hwy 309 in Wilkes Barre,PA.,since 1967. Formerly multicolored, now back to dignified brown-and-white.

Adam, having made the trip from NE to Florida many times, how could you forget the South of the Border billboards.
