Given that I'm from Kentucky, when "Kentucky" appears in a sign, I'm a sucker. If the sign is on an historic building in one of my favorite small U.S. cities, I'm even more intrigued. jrodmanjr took this shot in Lexington, home of Mary Todd Lincoln and Henry Clay. This is a city steeped in history and horse-racing. If you're ever there, park downtown so you can stroll through the neighborhoods ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Other signs are just plain weird, or have been defaced by folks with a healthy combination of humor and boredom. I have collected 10 signs that grabbed my attention.

The photo was snapped in Brussles.
It was taken near a tram stop.
It makes no sense.
Here's what I think it means:
There is no bond stronger than the leaf between trams.
When trams collide, their collision creates grapes.
Warning: birds with long, flowy wings can ride either tram.
Got something better?
Scratch your head some ...
