It spins in the wind, is located in a yard full of junked vehicles and scrap metal, and promotes a company located 50 miles away in a different state.
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

They have been doing “Quality Memorials since 1888″… wonder if they even remember that sign is there?
The place looks HUGE.
Musta been on of the 70-80s stages? High tech back then.
They are on the net now!
We drove by you as you were taking this pictures. Best of luck on your jouney.
Hi Matt,
I live on the Pacific coast in Marin County, just outside San Francisco, California. I’ve spent the last hour looking at all your photos and information. I love what you’re doing. I am excited to follow you on your trip now. Enjoy….can you talk on your videos as you show where you are? It would be fun to hear a sentence or two from you. Barbara L.
Maybe that’s the closest monument company to the area? Who knows!
Hi Matt
You are in my neck of the woods. I live near Near New Richmond WI which is about 25 miles north of River Falls!
Have a great safe trip!
Ha! Just my kind of sign!
according to their FAQ
“What area do you cover?
We cover a very large area with no specific guidelines or radius. It is common for us to go as far south as Faribault/Owatonna, north as far as North Branch, east as far as Eau Claire and the entire St. Paul/Minneapolis area. However, we have on many occasions gone farther out than the above listed cities.”
So they do business in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area.
They offer free straightening! I wish they were in NJ :(
This is so cool.. Just the inventive qualities in ideas that u were probably hoping u’d get2c on your quest for the answers.. I hope u find your dreams.. and allll the answers that u need..
That sign been there as long I can remember. I not sure off hand how long this one been on this “wind” sign.
Sans the sign, the truck and the house…with the wind and the grass…this has a very Wizard of Oz feel to it….
