Some of the photos we’ve been collecting of signs in the town of Montevideo. There are a lot of small businesses on Monte’s main street, some of them struggling or altogether closed, others bustling at times.

We’re particularly interested signs that have an original or hand painted quality (there are a lot of those here) because one of the projects we hope to pursue in the coming year involves creating roadside signs based on interviews with landowners in the surrounding counties. When we do, we’ll look to existing signs in and around the town for ideas and inspiration.
