The Town Sign Project Vol. 8 Auxiliary

This is a collection of pictures I took when I was tooling around Highway 169 taking pictures for THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT.

If you recall, some of the towns I went through were Lamoni, Ellston, Tingley, Shannon City, Arispe, Afton, Lorimor, and Winterset.

I also went through a town called Kellerton, but I couldn’t find a sign that said, “Welcome to Kellerton!” So it wasn’t included in THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT.

I have an attraction to the decrepit, the dillapidated, the abandoned. This collection might make some of these towns look worse than they are. Except Shannon City. I couldn’t make that town look worse than it is.

I mostly present this picture because next Monday, this car will be paid off. It is thanking me by needing new rear brakes.

Kellerton has a bunch of these flower pots in its business district.

There is a town sign for Beaconsfield in Kellerton, but not for Kellerton.

I didn’t actually make it to Beaconsfield, but this isn’t the first town to try to claim ownership of Peggy Whitson.

If Shannon City has 1 thing over Beaver, it is that it does have a church.

I actually thought I was going to get stuck on a road in Shannon City, no way I was tempting this road.

I don’t have any more THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT photos in the hopper. I probably will need to get some of those done when I get my brakes done. I will get my brakes done before driving down to Dallas to watch Iowa State play in the Big 12 Championship Game. Hopefully.

  1. Most of them probably aren’t worth visiting, but I did think Ellston was interesting. Well, they are all interesting, but it was interesting in a there is stuff to see that isn’t falling over way.
