Radar Controlled Sign in Ravenna


I always found this sign on U.S. 52 in Ravenna amusing, because my first reaction to it has always been that it's warning pedestrians not to speed. I'm easily amused.

This is the same stretch of road, incidentally, where many of our cherished Estill County religious billboards can be found.

The Wig Wam


The Wig Wam Restaurant has been an Estill County mainstay since as long as I can remember.

Though currently beige, it used to be Forest Green for most of my childhood, and apparently was a more garish assortment of colors way back in the day. Reportedly the building had more accoutrements back then to make it look more teepee-like too. Anyway, it's one of Kentucky's lesser-known examples of classic old-school mimetic architecture, and the burgers are dee-lish. Check it out next time you're in sunny downtown Ravenna.
