Sperryville Random-osity

The Good, The Random, and The Fun.

The Good: The Thornton River runs through the small town of Sperryville, Virginia. Not much bigger than a pretty creek at this point, the river help carve a pass through the Blue Ridge called Thornton Gap, known as one of the access points to Skyline Drive.

The Random: This is on the side of The Happy Camper store. There has been a controversy over whether it is an unapproved sign (and thus not allowed under town rules) or a mural. 

Monday Murals and Signs, Signs.

 The Fun: On the front of the store is a big H for Happy (I assume) and next to the door is the sign for "Open" or "Nope." I looked more closely and discovered that the sign has a little secret.

The "N" comes off and sticks magnetically. So when a manager opens the store, he moves the "N" to the right of the letters "OPE," forming the word Open.
