News Sign Going Up for Pana McDonald’s

July 20, 2010 · Leave a Comment

A WORKER IS hoisted high in the air as the original sign marking the location of Pana’s McDonald’s from 1984 is taken down to be replaced by a new, modern McDonald’s sign today, Monday, July 19. Manager Kirk Woods of the Pana McDonald’s says the sign’s pedestal is 50-feet in the air and the sign is close to 20-feet tall. It is a new design in which LED lights are used. No bulbs are in the sign. It is energy efficient, and the energy savings will pay for the sign in three years, Woods said. The new sign should be ready to go by this evening.

Last Saturday, about mid-morning, I was standing in my backyard, thinking about cutting the grass. Was going through my mind of what I needed to – pick up, trimming to do, raking, etc. – then, I had a better thought. Thought I would go inside and watch the British Open golf tournament on TV. Turned out to be a much better option. ––––– Still relishing the National League win in the All-Star game last Tuesday. Have been waiting a long time for that one. Happy to see the Nationals get back on track. This win has been a long time coming. Come to think of it, this was the first National... [Read the full story]
