Our Kind Of Stop Sign

If you’ve never driven down East Bay Street in Charleston, S.C., chances are you’ve never seen the graffiti adorning some of the less-traveled Union Pacific train cars at the Columbus Street port terminal.

It’s gorgeous stuff, reminiscent of the artwork from Radiohead’s groundbreaking Kid A album, actually.

Anyway, this stop sign isn’t a work of art, but it does make you stop and spontaneously break into Journey … which let’s be honest, is just as cool.

Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

Ahhhh … something about that just hits the spot.

Let it therefore be decreed that in Sic Willie’s benevolent dictatorship of the Palmetto State, every stop sign shall be thus emblazoned.
