I used to pass this billboard every day on the way to work. It was along I-70 near Troy, IL. Reminded me of the old Rolling Stones song... I liked the bold colors, and the random deterioration, the funny diamond in the corner..... It was actually a couple hundred yards off the interstate, I had to explore the backroads to get close to it, then tiptoe out into a cornfield for the shot.... It's been gone for several years, now, replaced with a much blander (if legible) billboard...
Yep, Mashed Potatoes. It was actually for a "homestyle" restaurant a bit up the road..... prettyy good place, though it's been a while since I ate there.
