March 25, 2019: Two photos of the same route in dramatically different locations.

Not sure what counts as "dramatically different," but this is probably the most drastic difference I have in pictures. They are about 440 miles apart, if one follows US-71 the entire way. (Fun fact: between the two spots in these pictures, Google Maps gives an unmodified route that's 11 miles shorter, using state routes/county roads as shortcuts.)

Also note the somewhat different shield design.

Since someone already posted 71, here's US 62:


Near Piggot, AR


Millersburg,OH

How long is a lyric? Two lines, or just a few words?

This.

After all, would someone be allowed to post a sign with 'San Francisco' on it just because the city name appears in the lyrics of a song?

There is no defining length; a lyric is however long it was written to be.

So as for "San Francisco", or any other word(s) that might just so happen to appear in a lyric, that would depend on the parameters of the Challenge. Absent any elaboration from its OP, I would suggest you'd have to post lyrics that are specifically depicted as such, at least indirectly; otherwise, any number of signs everywhere might happen to contain words that appear in song lyrics, which defeats the whole point of the game.

I wake up from my afternoon nap and see this? Geez, people these days... [/s]

I intended for the challenge to refer to the musical bars; in other words, post a photo of a sign containing musical notation (bars, notes, etc.). A more liberal version of the challenge would be to post signs that contain excerpts of song lyrics at least three words in length. Quote the song you are using...and yes, I will allow Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere". Because I like that song.

Close but no cigar on Georgia's welcome sign saying Georgia's on Your Mind instead of Georgia's on My Mind.

That's not what lyrics are.  Lyrics are the words that accompany said bars, notes, etc.

Well, that's a huge blunder right there. I'm no musician; I forgot what term you use to describe the actual music (notes, bars, etc.).

I don't know why, but I'm used to using lyrics and song interchangeably when describing music, because I thought they were one and the same when I was younger (play the music AND sing the lyrics at the same time), as they were usually together when reading sheet music.

Kendallville and Indianapolis both have 12 letters. Sign at the end of US 27 in Fort Wayne.

Hazel Green and Janesville from US 151 just into Wisconsin.

March 27, 2019: Perfect cubes, i.e. 1, 8, 27, 64, 125...you can put together multiple signs to create some of the larger ones.

27, 64, and 125 here. (I was hoping to find the year 1728 on a historical sign or "1000 feet" somewhere in my collection, but I didn't.)
