Heh. I had a discussion with a Rockler manager in Texas when I was there on vacation. I commented that I had no trouble finding anything, because it was laid out exactly like the store I usually go to in California (Orange). He said the corporate people tell them in excruciating detail where stuff goes in the store, regardless of whether he (or John Q. Customer) thinks the layout makes sense.It's kinda funny, the one time I was in that Rockler, their layout was so disorganized, I'm not surprised to see their sign goofed up as well.

That's sorta like the SHELL gas station sign at the edge of town that had the 'S' burned out----I always wondered what the drunks thought when they saw that sign all lit up!!

Well played, Mr. Page.It didn't bother me a bit!
Well played, Mr. Page.
I think one of my favorite Albuquerque gas station signs was for the Bar-F station at Eubank and about Constitution. Any way I read the sign, it said Barf.
Didn't realize you lived that close to my old stomping grounds. Grew up around Moon and Snowheights, then lived around Chelwood and Constitution for a while. My dad and sister live in the Chelwood and Menaul area. I get back there once or twice every year, and it's been interesting seeing how much it's changed over the past 16 or 17 years that I've been out here in La La Land.They tore down the old Barf a couple of years ago and put up a Panda Xpress. I live about 2 miles directly east of there. This town is changing so fast you probably wouldn’t recognize it today.
My sister just moved a few months ago from 10417 Prospect...walking distance from your step-daughter's place.It's a small world. I'm about a block from Chelwood and Constitution. My step-daughter & husband live on Snowhights off of Morris.
Not sure at this point. We didn't make it back there for the holidays this year due to LOML's mom's failing health. As soon as we get a chance, we'll be there, though. Just don't know when it'll be.So when are you coming to town next?
