Juxtaposition
Definition:
The conscious positioning or arranging of objects.
So, we are near Louisville, Kentucky now, but on our way through Georgia, Tennesse and Kentucky we noticed some rather interesting signage. On the left of the I-24 was a giant sign (you’ll see above), that says “HELL IS REAL” and just across from that sign on the right side of the street was a sign for and Adult Superstore. HMMMM. It seems as though there may be some differences of opinion in the bible belt, and it goes on for miles. Every few miles there would be some random bible verse and sure enough a few miles later would be a sign for a strip club or another adult superstore. It's very strange to me. In Fort Collins, there is one store near the university and you would hardly know it's there. So, to see these giant, glaring signs for and adult store are obnoxious, to say the least.
Which brings me to another point about signage in general. Georgia in particular is littered with giant billboards, and they are so ugly. I couldn't wait to get out of Georgia. And so, we crossed the border to Tennessee at Chattanooga and they really disappear. It's so nice to NOT see big, ugly billboards.
