John, you're not in the Bible Belt are you?

Apparently right smack dab in the middle Mike. Theres a church every two miles here. And Ive done the signs for most of em. I think Ive done every color combination thats out there, just on church signs. Usually when I put one up, few days later, someone calls and wants one just like the one they seed on the road. And we're off! Dave, this is beautiful country from early spring until about november, then the leaves fall off and it dont look so hot no more. But its home, and the mountains are wonderful here. They also have the number one off road park in the country that just started last year. Four wheelers, dirt bikes, buggys, etc. Heres a link to the website. http://www.harlancountytrails.com Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :

The church signs are beautiful . . .Our town is the same way . . . it's even (locally) nicknamed 'the city of churches & Used car lots. basically one on every corner.
John, I wish I could get the churches here to let use colours like that . . .everyone wants block copy with a drop a shade and a ton of secondary stuff like address, city, state and phone number . . . .
(gee I've just been inspired to create a new topic . . .)
I really like the salon sign too! It has a 3-D look . . . I was thinkin', it seems like it would look mo'bettah mounted a little higher on the posts so the top of the arch was higher than the posts. You wanted that 2cents right? lol

Nice stuff John.
There's a church at every intersection and at every half-block here too.
Usually, there's also a bar within stumbling distance of each church.

John, I was excited to "click" & see what you had posted. I wasn't disappointed!!!
That beauty shop sign alone is enough to turn heads! Beautiful! I love your panel shapes too.

Not forgetting Patty loveles, she's a HARLAN WOMAN!!!. I also like the royal blue and imitation golds on the white van. Great stuff JD.

Beautiful as always, John!
Your churches are much more stylish ours. We have lotsa brick monuments with boring white plastic letters...no fun at all.
