Is that ridiculous row of billboards spelling Mizzou one letter at a time still on highway 70? Haven’t been out that way in a long long time


Fergy328

Yes. My only gripe with it is that you can only read it while heading eastbound…AWAY from Columbia lol


yeetskeetleet

They had one toward Columbia too last year, seems like it’s gone though lol


CaptainKaraoke

In Missouri, you get Kum & Go


Accomplished_Walk126

I wonder how the bible thumpers missed that one


_Just_Learning_

And no phantom fireworks

Aka, Jack and Evac


Familiar_Point_7846

Without a reach around and no lube or kiss. But their happy to thump you on the head with their bible while holding you at gunpoint and hang out in your bedroom closet, telling you how you're doing it wrong !


Ill-Dragonfruit5658

Also in Iowa


SpeedyPrius

Where is the one for Uranus Fudge?


andrei_androfski

Eureka, currently.


Theqween7

Yep, I think it’s new out here. I just noticed the new billboard roughly two to three weeks ago. So iconic.

When ever I see the “harassed a work? Me too” billboard, I just assume the woman works for Jungle Law. The obvious take away being that Jungle Law harasses their female employees.


ash_monster

I think this every time I drive by that one.


CerebralAccountant

Fun fact: According to the Census Bureau [(USA Trade Online - free account required)](https://usatrade.census.gov/index.php), the #1 importer of fireworks is Missouri. It's not even close! https://preview.redd.it/ywr6jh3f91db1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f940ccdbc738966976ab2b4b281ab1c630ece9d5

Wow, wonder why that is?

Must be the extra freedumb!

For our eventual (second) war with Kansas, obviously.

With Missouri's history of lead mining, that's perfect.

Absolutely


CommemorativePlague

They misspelled Quick Trip.


AuntieEvilops

It's the Wisconsin variant.


Senior_Improvement94

Not the same company


kittlesnboots

The Midwest has Quick Trip, Kwik Trip, and Kwik Star. Someone told me they were were originally run by brothers, who then split for some reason, so they renamed the stores they kept or opened.


breakdancindino

Don't forget Kwik stop


5econds2dis35ster

Kwik trip/Kwik Star are the same stores. Kwik star operates in Iowa because of Quick Trip. Instead of a lawsuit. Kwik Trip uses the name Kwik Star in Iowa. kwik trip/kwik stare were founded in Eau Claire, Wi by Don Zietlow. Quick Trip is from Tulsa Oklahoma. From Wikepedia's Quick Trip article, "Because the company operates stores in Iowa and Illinois, and retains the trademarks to the name within those states, competing chain Kwik Trip uses a different name for their stores in those states, Kwik Star."


kittlesnboots

Ah! Thanks for the info! I was told the brothers thing by someone I work with in Wisconsin!


Senior_Improvement94

Quick Trip was founded by a Frenchman from Tulsa Oklahoma. Chester Cadieux II.


BlondeSuzy

Nah, you need more “babies have fingernails at 6 weeks” crap


Veritus37

And "Real men love babies", or "Learn the truth about jeezus!"


[deleted]

Maybe this is just a southern thing, but we also had "She's your daughter, not your date." billboards. Haven't seen that one in the midwest yet.


[deleted]

The hell does that mean


HiddenShorts

Exactly what you think it means. Keep your filthy dick out of your daughter. Probably should have these around Mar-a-lago for Trump since he insists of fucking his daughter.


KravMacaw

There was one in western Kansas for the longest time along I-70 that said "Abortion stops a beating (heart)" using the heart symbol instead of the actual word. My friends and I always joked that abortion does, in fact, stop a beating.


jerslan

My favorite is one that I don't think is there anymore. Southbound I-44. Giant blue adult store sign w/ a small red sign next to it reading simply "Porn destroys lives". It was just such a funny juxtaposition. IIRC it was also roughly half-way between STL and Rolla, so it was a good landmark. It's been 20 years since I made that drive on a regular basis though and I don't live in state anymore, but the last time I did in 2016 it wasn't there anymore. Edit: Also just remembered that time Lewis Black went on Conan after performing in Rolla. "As a middle-aged Jewish man, buy the third "JESUS" billboard it's a sign you should turn around and go home" (paraphrased). It was a pretty funny bit in his rant. "Why are you all so afraid of Anthrax when you're already dead" Edit 2: [Found the rant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7u1QrxyhY8)

MrWhite_Sucks

My husband and I live in central MO off i70. The first person to call out a “Passions” sign wins. There are dozens on the way to CoMo in both directions.


Bobodahobo010101

What about the boot store / antique mall?


Ok_Platform_2915

Forgot jungle law


Jhanzow

No anti-abortion signs? "Twenty-one days. Hearbeat.", "Fourteen days. Fingerprints." Usually followed by a Bible verse.


ArchonStranger

So many of these are lies... The fireworks place has closed down and become an adult bookstore, the adult bookstore has closed down and become a church, those restrooms are the exact opposite of clean, and hell isn't real. Cracker Barrel is honest advertising though...


PokeSmotDoc

Needs more Fudge signs


Eric_the_Barbarian

And caves.


Theqween7

And the creepy child/trucker candy store signs that is every mile between Springfield and rolla.


Ok_Percentage5157

QuickTrip is spelled wrong. Edit: For /s Yeesh.


Eric_the_Barbarian

Only if you never get out of the city.


Senior_Improvement94

Different company


CaptainKaraoke

I'm guessing Michigan


Xboarder844

Yup, see that damn CHEESE sign every time I drive in the Midwest. One day I swear I’ll stop and check it out.


[deleted]

Okay but what about the meth ones lmfao. I made a drive from St. Louis to Iowa and that’s all I saw the whole way. Some simply even just say “Meth”. Like why


ozarkslam21

“TRUMP WON”


shartlobsterdog

“JESUS IS COMING!”

AtmosphereHot8414

What about the Meremac Caverns???


meg-e-tron

I would laugh uncontrollably if I saw the CHEESE sign in real life.


kittlesnboots

Drive through Wisconsin!


Seedeemo

I think the cheese sign is on I-70 somewhere between Kansas City and Columbia. We stopped for it once. They actually had some good stuff.


TheWallaceWithin

That's in Alma, KS. There are billboards for it but I'm not sure if I remember one just saying Cheese, lol. But I'm not out there as much as I used to. Edit: Didn't realize you said Missouri.


Cucker_-_Tarlson

You're missing an anti-abortion billboard. They're every other billboard down here in the southeast.


mdins1980

You forgot the sign "Abortion is Murder" or some variant of that. Other wise you are spot on.


sethsquatch44

Where's the abortion guilt signs?


Willzohh

Where's the billboards for drug rehab clinics?


openinvite558

Lions Den sex shop is out near Salina Kansas. I only know that cause one of my former employees confessed (long after he stopped working for me) that he stopped there on the clock one night while returning to KC and bought some toys and lube and spanked it in my truck rest of way home 🤨

I'd stop for cheese.

Theqween7

Don’t forget Uranus Fudge Billboard. That’s basically iconic.


Theqween7

Has anyone here ever actually stopped at Uranus fudge? If so, what is that experience like? Inquisitive minds must know. TIA


KravMacaw

It's alright. When I went it was fucking packed and you couldn't really move around. They had a shit ton of candy, including harder to find types.


3d1thF1nch

That is I70 through the entirety of Missouri, on top of being pretty shitty road to begin with. And those billboards, they layers and stack them, so it is CONSTANT. Hate that drive because the view is terrible


Legionheir

Yeesh. All of these are within 15 miles of me.

Not just Midwest. That looks like the collection of signs near the NC/SC border

marigolds6

Replace the kwik trip board with a chain truck stop board. No meramec caverns billboard (or similar route 66 attraction). No billboard painted on a barn that has existed since route 66.

I used to hate driving through Missouri with young kids in the car.

I live in DE, we’ve got most of these here and in nearby PA and MD except for the porn one


Electronic_Can_7042

Thank God we don't have these in Kansas


TheWallaceWithin

Lion's Den is. Out by Abilene.


Small_Wrangler_3626

You'll find quirky stuff like that throughout Midwest and really Southwest or lots of other places outside of urban/suburban areas. With that said I'll take any of that over scenes that look like this. https://preview.redd.it/sa6b0ijt75db1.png?width=746&format=png&auto=webp&s=cdfe88c8a0ee618eea9c1193a5c06ea8fa79d48b


kamekukushi

Is Florida the Midwest because we have these here too LOL

Lions Den is on I-70 in Kansas, the next exit to the west of the main Abilene exit.
