I really enjoyed your website. I have wanted
to travel all 50 states and do the same thing. My wife and I
live in Memphis, TN (I saw you visited there) and you can take
pictures of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama,
and Kentucky all within a 1-2 hour drive and an extra 30-45
minutes plus that can get you Illinois and Louisiana. Someday
I hope to get welcome signs of all 50 states like you have and
possibly other countries and/or Canadian provinces. That would
be really cool. Thanks for the website again. I really enjoyed
it!
Sincerely,

Your web site is great! I read about it on Sun.
in the St. Louis Dispatch paper
and decided to check it out. A friend's sister goes to each
of the state capitals and I have sent my friend a note about
your site. She may want to take photos of the signs also! Particularly
enjoyed the CA, AZ and MO pages as we have lived in those states.
Thanks for a great site.

I am an older lady who most of the time am very
disappointed in some of the Web Pages I visit.
Not so with yours. It is really great and I intend to
spend a lot time looking at all the States. Since I know all
the President's in the order elected I was delighted to see
them included. How lucky you are to be able to do all these
things. Good luck to you in any projects you choose.

Nice Picture of the older "Welcome to Arizona
sign on your site.: ) However ADOT over the last few years has
begun placing a newer "Welcome" sign at the state boundaries. Also Nevada and California have updated their signs - California
now has a blue sign with a large white poppy, and the Nevada
sign shows a miner.

The manual of traffic signs.
Great idea! I have snapped a bunch of them,
but not as religiously as you have. Too bad you couldn't have
gotten the great sign from Kansas that was up ten years ago. "Kansas - Home of Beautiful Women." Kansas had 2 Miss Americas
in 3 years. Great sign - true, but not politically correct nowadays.

Enjoyed your web site on state welcome signs.
This brought back a lot of memories of past vacations. As a
child in the early 1950s, I had my father stop at each welcome
sign so that I could take a photo of it. It was a lot easier
to do then than now with the high volume of traffic and interstates.
Although I've been to all 50 states and the state capitals,
I didn't continue photographing the welcome signs. Glad to learn
that someone else did it and is sharing them with others.

Hey! I am just writing to say I just had the
most fun 15 minutes of my boring work day looking at your welcome
signs! My dad would always make us get out of the car and take
our pictures with them when I was younger and now I do it all
the time. I live in Dallas and we drove to Washington DC a few
months ago (right before sep 11) and we took a different way
home than the way there and I got 17 states! (a little detour
to kansas) - I didnt know anyone else collected themyou've done
a great job. On the Texas sign it says "drive friendly, the
texas way" - we dont drive friendly they're lying to you.hehe

I enjoyed looking at your web site. It would
be great if you could do Canadian Provinces next. Good luck

Today I was looking for information on traveling
on the internet and found your Welcome signs page. My parents
and family always stop at the Welcome signs to take pictures.
Ever since I can remember we have had to wake up or get out
to take pictures of the welcome signs. I thought I'd e-mail
you telling you that it is really really neat that you you
have pictures of all the welcome signs.

My husband and I spent this morning looking
at your web site. He found your site listed in the Jan
2002 issue of Money Magazine. I see that you are from MN.
So are both my parents. My dad is from Milaca, near St. Cloud
and Mille Lacs Lake, and my mom is from Tyler, near Marshall
in the SW corner of the state. We used to spend every summer
in MN when I was a kid. My parents now spend about half the
year up in Walker on Leech Lake. We still rag them about honeymooning
in Duluth (of all places!) 50 yrs. ago! ... We both think that
you should be on David Letterman's show. (Remember when Larry
Bud Melman used to take trips and they would show his whereabouts
using a Larry Bud Melman head on the map? You may be too young
to remember; you're 7 yrs. younger than I am.) I know that I
can get you a couple of spots on local Birmingham radio. I have
friends at WAPI-am. Anyway, we enjoyed your site. We're closet
nerds.
