You gotta love someone who puts up a sign like this. And yes, I heeded the caution and gave the puddle plenty of room. Found this sign up in Saluda on Saturday afternoon.

A Riddle from Green Creek Fire & Rescue

9/16/2020

Usually the folks at the Green Creek Fire & Rescue just give us something to ponder on over the next week or so. But today...they've challenged us with a riddle. Okay, perhaps they are just setting a trap for me. Do you know the answer? Comment if you dare to share.

Keeping positive in tough times...

Tryon Theatre, the movie theater in downtown Tryon, has been closed for months. The owners frequently switch out the marquee wording with encouragement to hang in there...they will return. After all, this movie house has been showing films since 1935. A few years ago it was completely renovated. They do open up for an hour on Friday and Saturday nights to sell that good old tasty movie house popcorn you can get nowhere else.

The whole community is ready to enjoy their home movie house once more.

Another weekly dose to chew on...

It's not that I visit the Green Creek Fire & Rescue Headquarters just to take photos of their sign; it's where I go to drop off my recycling most Wednesdays. But an added bonus is getting a chance to jump start my day with something to chew on other than a treat from Martha's Amish Bakery which is often a stop on my way home. They give me something else to chew on. I love both chances to brighten my day.

It's nice having our own "philosophy department" in the neighborhood. Green Creek Fire & Rescue is often posting thoughts to chew on. I appreciate it.

It's good to know some folks can keep their sense of humor. This sign was spotted on Landrum Road near Highway 9.

I love seeing creative signs around the Foothills. This one spotted this morning at the Green Creek Fire & Rescue Headquarters in Polk County.

I guess the good news is, you were driving and had a wreck...you would be in good hands.

A Church with a Sense of Humor

I love it when an institution can have a little fun. I spotted this sign today and chuckled all the way to where I could turn around and take the photo. Don't you love it when you find a church with a sense of humor? Hat's off to the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church for making this photographer laugh.
