Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs...

So, I mentioned a few days ago that I'm informally looking for icon Idaho signs as part of a book project I'm working on. I got a few nominations from around the state and I thought I'd share them with you. What signs am I missing? I'm looking for eye-catching signs of every kind, neon, cartoonish characters, clever wording, whatever makes them memorable. You can send me a tip or pic, or just comment on this post. Thanks!
