A Tale of Two Cities

Welcome to Macon, Georgia. This sign is imbedded on a bank alongside Interstate 75 on the West Side of the Highway. One has to be very aware to even see the sign as you travel down the Interstate at the posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour. This view was from the East end of the F. Emory Greene Memorial Bridge which crosses the Interstate in Macon, Georgia. Yes, this sign is quite difficult to read.

This Welcome sign is on U. S. Highway 52 on the South side of Monona, Iowa. It is clerly visible to the travelers who pass by this sign. Although Monona is much smaller than Macon, Georgia they can proudly boast that they have a complete Water Park and a new manufacturing industry.

Almost every town and city in Iowa has a nice looking Welcome sign that certainly promotes a positive attitude about their area.
