Wordless Wednesday ~ w Linky

Sept.25,2013

While out on a walk recently I  was fascinated by a house with  this sign on it.....



...obviously the owners or tenants  of that era had a great sense of humour and more than a little time on their hands. I also would assume cash flow was not a problem as the making of this sign would have been costly.

I am curious as to who this was,perhaps I should dig into this more. Will let you know what my findings are.



In case you are unable to read the inscription, it says...

ON THIS SITE IN 1897 NOTHING HAPPENED

    Oh I think that is funny! Great sign. I hope there are more around to buy! Tell the owner if you find them that there is a market for these!!! LOL

      That sign has been on a very old home for more years than I can remember.... not likely to have any more around. Certainly would be a market if anyone made more, though. Renae. Tks for comment.
