Old and new shields next to each other in Fayetteville, courtesy Shawn Latta and submitted by Adam Prince. The new shields (GA 85) actually looks better than the old, because it's closer to the actual state outline. Well, not a LOT closer.

Ridiculously old white signs on former GA 318, at its western GA 9 and eastern GA 53 termini, also from J.T. Well, not quite. Long ago, GA 318 extended west of GA 9, which was then US 19 (a bypass took that duplex away), to Dawson Forest. That died, leaving the western terminus at 9, and shortly thereafter 318 won an eastward extension from 53. That died, and then the remainder of the route (between 9 and 53) was killed in 1982 and again in 1985, since once just wasn't enough.

The rest of the photos on this page are photographed by John Krakoff and given to me by Adam Prince.

Wrightsboro Rd. WB in Augusta, at I-520 Exit 2: another example of a state-name shield that should not be celebrated. Courtesy Lou Corsaro, but the fact that Bobby Jones (built the famous Augusta golf course) is the name of the expressway (could they have indicated that?) is courtesy J.T. Legg. I hope Bobby is no relation to Bob Jones of University infamy. (Why is "fame" being famous but "infamy" being infamous? Why not "infame"?)
