IronTiger Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I love Houston, and every few months I take an excursion down there for various reasons. Since I live in College Station, we take Hwy. 6 which becomes Hempstead Highway in Houston. Now, somewhere outside the first highway loop, there's a strange warehouse on the other side of the railroad which has all sorts of junk...including a McDonald's sign, just laying with miscellaneous other signs and stuff...I don't know what it is, or even where it is, I think around here is it:http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=29....mp;t=h&z=16...but since I'm relying on my memory, I can't quite remember exactly where it might be. Has anyone else seen this bizarre junk? Am I just insane?? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 There's a place on Antoine between Hempstead and 290 that has lots of huge signs like that. Every time I see the Burger King sign I dream of having it. Weird. It's one of the old school ones, not the newest marketing material.

IronTiger Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 All right! I'm not insane after all! I did wish getting the McDonald's sign and cleaning it up, then sadly realizing that I probably couldn't mount it on my bedroom wall because it's too big...and it might violate a few sign ordinances/trademark laws if I built a post for it in my front yard, too.

TexasVines Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 not sure where I heard this, but for some strange reason I believe signs are actually the property of the sign company....I may be wrong about this....even signs with trademarked brands and I know that EVERY major sign company I have ever passed has old signs sitting around it even for companies out of business or companies that have changed designs 3 times since then...but there they sit.....not sure what they think they will do with them, but they have them wish I could get a jack-in-the-box clown head.....should have stolen one when I had the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
