Greetings, Friends!

It's time once again for another fun round of the PhotoChain Challenge!

The KEY-SUBJECTS for this week are CHIMNEY by @barbara-orenya and YELLOW by @Zoricatech (Congratulations on your wins, Ladies!)

My entry for this week's contest features a photo of red brick buildings with three real chimneys (and a decorative looking fake one) on the rooftops.

Warm yellow lighting and a fancy shop sign beckons customers to come shop inside the corner store called "The Bug Store"* located in the historic Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis where I grew up.*

If chosen, my key word is

~ SIGNS ~

What's a post from me without a song? Here's "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band

And the sign said
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Huh, me workin' for you"
Whoa

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight"
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face
'Man, you're some kind of sinner'"

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no, you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here

The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside"
Uh

And the sign said
"Everybody welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me
I'm alive and doin' fine"
Woo!

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
