Barbecue Extra Sign on Greensboro Street in Lexington North Carolina

_

Hand-painted plywood sign in a vacant lot on Greensboro Street behind Lexington Middle School.  The sign, a victim of rain and either neglect or vandalism, stands facing the back of The Barbecue Center restaurant.  I am not sure of the full wording of the sign, but knew instantly, my brain a mix of geography (I was standing in Lexington NC) and 7pm entertainment (Wheel of Fortune) the word on top was “Barbecue.”

Urban Landscape in Lexington North Carolina

Urban landscape downtown in Lexington North Carolina.  North State Street, sidewalk.  The entrance, drive-up window to the local utility payment office (to the left of the frame of the photograph).  A telephone booth, calling your attention in red.  Winter scorched grass and ill cared for shrubbery.  A florist, “Love Blossoms,” housed in a modernist office building of concrete and wooden beams and thin ribbon windows.  The spage-age globe streetlight a survivor of the 1960’s in which the modernist building was erected.  The space race to the moon come to the piedmont South, a furniture-making hub.  In the background a house; built in the 1930’s, not far enough from downtown.  Now engulfed in the commercial district.  An attorney’s office maybe, as this is the courthouse town.
