A sign of the times

There was a time not long ago when babies and children were protected by natural immunities developed as they become exposed to the world around them. Now some parents and business owners are so over-protective they don't want little ones exposed to dirt and germs in the real world. Consider this little sign on a baby changing table...

Read all the signs at your own risk...

Town Planners and CSX Railroad recently built this $207,000 pedestrian crossing near downtown Apex. When it came time to decide on signs to post at the crossing the planners went into overload.

Nevermind that the crossing goes nowhere and is the Town's own "bridge to nowhere". After spending all that money, the east side of the crossing ends abruptly beside the tracks and there is no way to go anywhere else. The intent was to make this part of a path to Historic Downtown Apex but work was not done to actually make the path connect to the Town office complex. So for now, you can stand by the tracks and watch the trains go by...

Got signs?

There are at least 12 signs on this new drugstore. Even more if you count the signs on the delivery vehicle covered with signs.
