Interesting...I could get the grab, but my idea for the next tag takes more time than I have in the next few days. Darn it.

 
Bump. This is an easy tag. C'mon guys, go for a ride and pick something.

Red Shirt

Go where no man has gone before

Any character or actor name that's associated with the show

words like "data" should be easy to find

Don't over think it, it's supposed to be silly and fun.

 
I could have sworn someone got the ice cream tag? Basket n Robbins cups, IIRC. WTF?

Guess I'll keep an eye out for ice cream this afternoon, (unless someone re-posts the grab).

 
You people take way to long to go for Ice cream.

So here you go, double dark chocolate two scoops.

Made in the back room Here.

This place opened in 1932. don't have the date it closed but gas was 49.9 cents a gallon.

City of Dwight, IL uses it as a welcome center now.

I can do that if you want.

Find me a stand alone pay phone. Not a booth, but a pedestal mount unit.

Or!

A piece of sculpture with re-purposed common items.

So go get a shot with the bike in the picture!

Yeah, I hear you on the pay phones, they are becoming a thing of the past. Just a few kept around for Government agents and drug dealers. Thus the alternate tag from the get go.

Here’s the nutshell version of the history:

The couple on whose property this resides has had a small engine repair business for more than 50 yrs at this location. It’s very rural now so you can imagine how remote it was then. They had a sign on the road promoting their business, which the county made them remove, as it did not comply with local codes.

About that time, again, 50 yrs ago, they came across this object that was the result of a local high school metal shop project. It had no value to the school upon completion and was relegated to the locale scrapheap. These folks recovered it and moved it to their old sign location where it quickly became a local landmark and remains there to this day.

Originally, it was painted green until another group of college students discovered it and repainted it yellow, for obvious reasons, as part of an art project. They took many before and after photos as they changed the color and added graphics referencing the Beatles etc.

The owners tell me the locals see to it that it gets routine repaires and repainted as needed, and sometimes they are completely unaware until they happen to drive out the long driveway and notice.

On occasion, over the past 50 yrs, the owners have removed it for one reason or another and get inundated with inquiries about it’s welfare. It’s never long before it finds it’s way back to it original location, much to the delight of many.

New Tag - Your Bike's odometor showing at least three zeros.
