A sign of the times

I am a big fan of signage. Unfortunately, I don't always have my camera with me to capture them because I don't bring my backpack everywhere. Fortunately, others have taken it upon themselves to photograph some of the best signage my old hometown (Austin, MN) has to offer.

Behold... The Tranny Shop (via)

The old as hell Apollo Superette sign on Oakland Ave. W. (via)

An ancient McDonald's sign a couple blocks from Apollo (via)

And the much talked about (by me) Piggy Blues BBQ on N. Main St. in Austin, MN (via)
If you're down by Iowa, stop in (closed Sundays) and say Hi to Josh and Andrea.

Cool signs like these seem to be vanishing even though upon closer inspection Austin, Minnesota seems to be a haven for cool, historic and unique signage. What cool signs are their near where you reside? Have you seen any other McDonald's signs like the one here? Am I a total nerd for finding signs cool?
