The fading patina of the paint and the old looking school bus drew my attention to this billboard. If you enlarge the image you can see that is stenciled on plank boards which leads me to believe it has been there quite awhile. They just don't make them this way anymore.For more Ruby Tuesday join Mary here.

What a great find, they really don't make 'em like that anymore.
Wow that is awesome. They sure don't make them like the use to. Love it :)
The plank board is great. I'm not so sure about McDonald's for breakfast.
That's a lovely billboard, I love the shape of that old bus!
The Golden Arches show up well, even if faded. Old signs often are fading away, as there are so many new electronic billboards with many messages. I think there is a sign near a McDonald's in the region - with the school bus on it. Who would have thought that fast food memorabilia would be disappearing so fast...
Ha! i would imagine this is quite a find and maybe worth keeping for the future..could be worth a bit!Ha
On the otherhand, as an artist l would love it to work on it and turn it into an art peice! Lovely Ruby tuesday image. Good find my friend!lynda

haha!
I like this for several reasons - it's old fashioned, it's unique and McDonald is my maiden name. ;-)
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
Cool capture. You know what strikes me most about this? No graffati!
wonderful old sign
I love the weathered beauty of it
It's certainly a more charming advertisement than today's billboards. Very nicely done. Happy RT.
Wow, I am amazed that still there.
MY Ruby Tuesday
That's the oldest advertising board I have seen from McDonald's. ^_^
RT~What a deal
Hehe, that sign suggests McDonald's isn't doing so well financially, but I don't think that is true. ..great Ruby Tuesday.
My RT on Silently Mine. :))
Great catch Carletta! Love that old sign! Happy Ruby to you...
I love it! Have never seen one anything like this before!
well, gee, don't know when I'll get back into regular blogging and the photo projects! Hope I can soon.

What a find! I love it...I don't remember seeing any other one like it! Cool post!
What a terrific ruby find. I love the school bus.. Like stop on your way to school,lol.
My Ruby Link for you
Carletta: That is really cool.
You don't see many billboards like this any more.
Just shows that once even McDonalds was a less-than-corporate burger joint. Nice find.
wow so amazing that it is still up as of now :) great find!
u may view mine here
It looks indeed a little washed out !
love the character in this one . . .
That's really cool! Happy Ruby Tuesday!
This is a great find. Thanks for sharing and sorry for the late comment.
Looks like a real vintage one for sure. Glad you captured it for us.
I too, have a Goldie and Spot in my pond but not quite as big as yours.
Thanks for coming by today and leaving such a sweet message.
Cheers!
Yeah, that's a classic sign for sure, from the old days. It sits weathered and worn, but it's antique look makes for a good picture.
What a great old sign Carletta looks like the bottom half has been restored the upper half has suffered the weather. Thanks for leaving the larger version it was a treat to see this made bigger!
That's probably an antique...you should requisition that sign. :)
Nice catch for Ruby Tuesday.
What a neat find!!
Very nifty find for Ruby Tuesday ... it would have 'worked' for Mellow Yellow Monday too ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
I honestly don't think I have ever seen a billboard made of planks. Great shot!
That's a really neat sign. I hate when they restore old signs and paint them bright new colors. They just don't look right.
I agree that they do not make signs like this anymore. But, I have never known McDonald's to not keep their signs cared for.
Definitely a unique capture.
My age is showing - this brings back memories! Great capture!
dear carletta,
i just got as far here last week to click on and show my husband just how pretty you are!
and then i had to leave so quick that i didn't even comment.
now this macs picture reminds me so much of a sign that we used to see on our journeys out west to my beloved manitoba.
when you are travelling so far in northern ontario along lake superior , the gas stations are few and far between.
there used to be a sign that warned people that the next gas station was one hundred or so miles away.
well that sign has been replaced with a more important sign,
"one hundred fifty kilometres to the next macdonald's"
kilometers? well when bernie and i took that trip along lake superior, canada had not gone metric yet!....
i will say so long and wait until you have your ruby tuesday for this week...love terry
Wow, I'm surprised that's still standing.
Wonder how long it took to paint that?
And I wonder if McD's paid someone to go all across the US and Canada to paint those signs.
Classic! Mcdonald's turn green in here recently!

Wow, I wonder how old it is.

Excel Pivot Table Fundamentals
I won't try and hide the fact from you that I am a big fan of Pivot Tables. I use them a lot in the development of Spreadsheets for my clients. Once the client sees the Pivot Table, they nearly always ask "could I do that?" the answer of course is yes! Unfortunately most [url=http://www.treegrid.net/net-grid-view.html]net grid view[/url] tend to shy away from Pivot Tables, as they see them as too complex. to be honest with you, when you first use a Pivot Table the whole thing can seem a bit daunting. Don't be put off by this as persistence will almost [url=http://www.treegrid.net/asp.net-datagrid.html]net data grid[/url] certainly pay off. I find the best part about Pivot Tables is their ability to be manipulated via 'Trial-and-Error' and immediately show the result. If its' not what you expect, [url=http://www.treegrid.net/pivot-table.html]pivot table[/url] use the Undo feature and/or have another go! What you must always remember is that you are not changing the structure of your original table in anyway at all, so you can do no harm!
Why are they called Pivot Tables ? - Well, basically they allow us to pivot our data via [url=http://www.treegrid.net/java-grid.html]java grid[/url] to produce meaningful information. This makes Pivot Tables interactive in that once the table is complete we can very easily see what effect moving (or pivoting) our data has on our information. This will become patently clear once you give [url=http://www.treegrid.net/ajax-table.html]ajax table[/url] a go. Believe me, no matter how experienced you get at Pivot Tables there will always be an element of trial-and-error involved in producing the desired results! What this means is you will find yourself pivoting your table a lot!
