Graffiti rock turned into memorial

Graffiti rock turned into memorial

Off highway 25 in rural Iowa there was apparently a rock to the side of the road that was constantly covered in graffiti. People would paint over it and remove the graffiti, but that would just start the whole cycle all over again.

Well a fellow named Ray brought his artistic talents to bear and converted the rock into a military war memorial, and according to the site, the rock has been left alone since.

See all the rock veteran war memorial from all sides . Truly amazing work. Thank you.

Another road side site to see

When I was still out in the corporate world one of the offices I visited was in Winlock Washington, a small town yes, and Egg Capital. They have a large egg that stands proud, right outside of the office I used to visit, and it is a tribue since September 11th. For the full story on the famous Winlock Egg click here:

About posting to community blogs

Post anything. Talk about work, life, or play. Get and give advice and tips. This is a trading post so feel free to promote yourself, projects, or your business (just don't spam!).

You need a SPOT to post new discussions on the community blog and comment on other people's posts.

Some folks call it a blog, a forum, or questions and answers. Trader Dan is old fashioned and thinks of it as folks talking and having a good time.

The only real rules are NO SPAM, don't be rude, and indicate if your post is NSFW. These things tend to peeve Trader Dan no end. Promoting yourself is okay if it is meaningful to the community, but limit yourself or you will be deleted. Controversy is okay, but hate, flaming, and jerks are not.
