I pass the sign on the Thruway westbound from 24 all the time which has "Buffalo 273" as the last line, but never took a picture.  Oh well.

286 miles to San Diego on I-8:

Just realized my mistake, not knowing that 285 had been in the last pic posted.

Thanks to the 48-hour rule, I'll repost my mistake from earlier, 287 miles to Des Moines on I-80:
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

This doesn't seem like it could be a real sign.  The distances to the Cuban cities are okay, but I can't imagine the Cuban government allowing this.  I found the pic on pinterest and can't seem to find any further information.
