| Deemed OK Despite 50 sq. ft. Prohibition Against Such Signage |
Here is a good article discussing some political doings over in Rappahannock County, Virginia (click here).
Trump supporters have placed the above sign on a hillside and it has set off several complaints from those who fail to see the promised greatness.

Pesto aside, my take would be that Sperryville’s Corner Store is not a country store because it doesn’t have a front porch!
And speaking of front porches, it’s good excuse for me to pass along this Kim Wiley photo of some folks with experience in running a country store/tavern – the Dents and the Williams – posing with a Ridge boy on Buzzy’s front porch:
