Signs

AA284 Up there.

HAZMAT = Hazardous material

This is at an abandoned cattle processing corral.

What does this mean? I haven't a clue, but it seems a little ominous, or maybe it's a joke.

This sign disappeared about a year ago. The photo is about two years old. It's an abandoned beef butchery out on a rural highway.

The Wong patriarch immigrated from China to San Francisco, probably very early in the 20th century. In 1930, the family moved to southern Oregon, bought land and founded a very large potato farming and co-op shipping enterprise. They also opened the county's first Chinese restaurant on Main St., Klamath Falls. It's still there and I will upload a photo of it, eventually. Wong Potato is now owned by the Chin family, but I do not know whether they are related.

Circa 1930s.

A tight squeeze!

Abandoned gas station, Beatty, Oregon.

Formerly a creamery going back to the '40s or '50s, now Klamath Basin Brewery. The "K" stands for the local high school, Klamath Union.

I think this sign is hilarious and a nice piece of folk art. Notice the bird (owl?) at the top with a ? over its head. And, I don't understand what's going on with that border! AA220 Unusual signs.
