Today, I could hardly believe my eyes! As I reached the red light in my little town, I looked upward toward the Biscuit sign, and my jaw dropped in amazement. It was gone! The black letters and the white background of the sign had completely vanished. A view of the grey and cloudy sky had taken its place. Above the space that once announced the Biscuit of the Day, you can still find the price of gas, but nothing else.
How ironic. Only a few days after I wrote my story, the sign that had existed for well over a year on the same corner, is no more. If only I had taken a photograph, but it is too late. Or is it???
I hold out hope that the sign will be restored in some form. As I drove home this evening, I saw the other side of the tall framed structure. At the bottom was the gap where the Biscuit sign had been. In the middle, there were the gas prices, and at the top...
At the top is an empty space with a white backing. In front of that, there are two long fluorescent bulbs. It looks as if another white signboard cover is supposed to slip in front of those lights. Could it be that one day soon, the presence of fresh biscuits will take top billing over gas? Will we once again know if bacon or chicken will adorn the biscuit of the day? We'll just have to wait and see...
Stay tuned! :)
