Welcome to another year of the AtoZ Challenge. This year I am doing signs that I have seen across the country. This post will feature signs associated with the Letter N. ENJOY THE RIDE!
We can’t avoid signs. They are everywhere. Advertisements, informational signs, directional signs, business signs and, sometimes, even humorous and fun signs. Each of my posts in this years’ challenge will feature a hodgepodge of signs I have come across in my travels. In most cases, I’ll also note where they were taken. Some were actually inside of shops or otherwise, so not all will have locations. I hope you enjoy this fun trip each day of April.
So, let’s start off with Nice….you can be Nice or Leave. I like Nice!

Welcome to Nice – California (you can see a nice guy in this pic!)

Be Nice or Go Away

Be Nice or Leave – Paradise Point, Scottsville, Kentucky

Of course, one of the most common signs I come across includes the word NO… No is really not a nice word, but I guess it has its purpose.
I like the No Shirt, No Service signs…here are a couple of classics!
