This has long since been fixed (this is from 2017), but this whole stretch had bad signs, but they were actually kind of pretty, even decorative:

This one as the Purple Lee Roy Selmon Shield doesn't take well to Florida Sunshine.

This selfie was due to the maiden name of the woman in the newest couple in my life being Burke; however, that does not change the peeled status of this sign in Burkeville, VA.  The other side looks much better for now.

I had hard time deciding if this belonged in the PEELED or FADED threads.  I chose PEELED because I've never seen letters on a California Spade pull back like this CA 185 shield.  Somehow the "8" has hung on.

Jesus, it almost seems like it was involved in some sort of tanker fire.

I'm trying to figure out how it could be that weathered in the Bay Area.  The Bay Area has clouds and moderate weather.  I have so many shields of similar vintage by me that barely have any fade much less peel.
