Thanks PublicEnemy,I have tons of other peoples pics on my hard drive that I've saved thru the years,and would like to share them.I was told if I open an account with photobucket or flicker that I would be able to upload pics to the h.a.m.b. in larger sizes,instead of the smaller thumbnails.I've opened accounts in both places and cant get the pics from there to here.When I copy and paste the URL the hamb kicks it back as an invalid file everytime....I know I'm doing something wrong,but what?Anyone with suggestions feel free to PM me.Once I get past this hump I'll be a picture downloading fool....
I love these ols signs, I look at this one every day as i drive to work. If I had a huge place to store them I would buy them all! oh and if I had the money
Has anybody made a metal 3D sign? I have been working on my house and have plans to hang a sign on a 14 foot high wall I have in the living room.
A couple of my favorites especially now that they have new meaning... The statue above (King Gambrinus, a 12th century Flemish nobleman who legend has it brewed the first beer) sits atop the 204,000-square-foot former brewery. More famous is the 125-foot sign below with 10 foot high letters that would light up. The ball at the top would change colors to predict the weather. The ball turned green to signal fair weather, red to tell of cloudy skies and a flashing red light was warning of rain. If the letters of the Falstaff name were lit from the bottom up, the temperature was rising. When they were lit from top to bottom, the temperature was falling. Flashing lights on the letters meant a constant temperature. There's an interesting website for this building and VERY COOL pics... http://neworleansdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/10/weather-ball-signals-winds-of-recovery.html
And even though this one isn't old, in fact new run of the mill it's story is what's cool to me... This is the guitar on the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Biloxi MS. It was made by a sign company local to me here in Central Louisiana, it was their FIRST commercial sign of this size. It was put up not long before Katrina hit and Biloxi took a lot of damage... The persons who built it couldn't believe it when the next morning they were showing the destruction and the sign was still standing fairly unskathed...
