The photos are these (remember you can click on one, launching the photo gallery app that “embiggens” the image and makes reading the captions a little easier):
The story of Lewiston is the story of political machinations. “Coincidental” politcal machinations?
There was no way to visit the first state Capitol building because of the heat.
Quitters.
The string of bars adjacent to my murder hotel offers this macabre rolling advertisement.
A hearse decorated with puns to sell the bar scene.
Plus a killer vanity plate.
The abandoned sporting goods store across from the murder hotel could easily undergo renovations and reopen as a Serial Killer Emporium. They wouldn’t even have to change the signage.
Some rising entrepreneur should open a bread bakery that offers “Great Bread… because why settle for just ‘good?’
This gas station either has terrible spelling or was running low on “E”s.
Given this is the opposite side of the sign, I think maybe they actually think it’s spelled “sizf.”
Gotta make room for the new 2018s….
Do you think the apostrophe is in the wrong place? Or is this Waffles NO More?
Seriously, Lewiston really hates their vowels. PIZZ? Really?!
Meet me at the train station. Which station? THE train station.
I like to imagine the “no soliciting” sign is because one of the partners said, “Don’t you EVER say we’re solicitors! We are ATTORNEYS AT LAW! Screw those solicitors!”
On Main Street, they offer barrels with orange flags to assist pedestrians in the cross walk. But what does one do in this situation? All the orange flags are on the other side. Do I just not cross? Do I run across with my arms akimbo in a run of faith, grab a flag, run back and then cross with the flag to warn drivers? The sign does not share such secrets.
I guess I’m on the wrong side of the street — everybody has clearly crossed to the other side already.
A bike/skate shop has a unique “Sorry we’re closed” sign. Custom? Or is there a catalog for “Bike/Skate Shops” with brand appropriate messaging?
The only thing listed for Lewiston, ID, on Roadside America is this site.
Here’s the details of Mary the Thirsty Elephant, murdered by an overzealous mayor/big gam hunter. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11837
Does this sign mean, “Hey, Motorcycles! You need to use extreme caution!” Or does it mean “Hey, you, in the cars — there’s motorcycles on these roads. Use extreme caution?” I think the former.
Crossing the bridge into Washington.
Ya know, Evel Knievel once tried to JUMP over the Snake River in 1974 (albeit this was up in Twin Falls, ID). I’m less a daredevil — I just walked across. But *I* made it across.
The bridge to Washington. Or on the way back, the bridge to Idaho.
The Lewis and Clark Valley.
Morbidly, I wondered if this cut down on the area suicide rate.
ACROSS the river!
What happens here? All roads confluent.
Welcome to Clarkston! There is not a SINGLE entry on Roadside America for this town.
