Week of November 2, 2003: Don't know if such signs exist in Oklahoma, this one appeared in Baltimore, MD. Be advised: if you see a sign like this near your house, and you just happen to be going out of town on the days listed (and there's a guy with a camera following you around), chances are there's a room in your house being redecorated for the TLC series While You Were Out, as was the case here (part of the TLC logo can be seen in the lower right).

Week of November 9, 2003: To comemmorate the first anniversary of this web site, this week's picture is actually last year's picture, the first one ever shown on this site, along with the explanation that I had given for it at the time (the construction is now completed and the sign has since been removed): Let's start things off with a sign I thought I would never see in Oklahoma, much less this side of the Mississippi, given that US-44 goes, according to an Endpoint of US Highways web site, from Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Kerhonset, New York. The shield is actually supposed to read Interstate 44. It's just temporary, though: the BGS's are down while traffic is being diverted due to construction on SH-51 (which doubles as US-64, so it's interesting that they're mentioning only 51). Still, as it's doubtful I'll ever see another US-44 sign in these parts again, I thought I'd grab a picture of it while I could.

Week of November 16, 2003: US-69 in Miami. As many communities have been having problems with people stealing the "Historic Route 66" signs that get put up along the vintage highway, so the town of Miami has come up with a way to prevent it: by spray-painting the signs directly onto the road.



Week of November 23, 2003: Convergence point of OK-16, OK-48 & OK-66 in Bristow, viewed from eastbound OK-66. Note the unusual-for-Oklahoma fontage.
