Looks to me like he's saying "eat crap", but that wouldn't make my face turn red.

Seeing that he is holding a newspaper, is he saying, "EXTRA"?

What would bother me a teensy bit more is why does a ROAD have a web site? How inane. "OOOH, look honey! They fixed that pothole over on the corner of Spring Road and Main. That is such a relief!" "Wow! A garage sale at the Johnsons! Maybe they're selling their human skull collection!" Sarcasm just falls flat on the net, sadly.

Tina -- Good question. The only time I've ever seen anything similar to this is here in the DC-Metro area where there is major construction going on over a several year period on one section of I-95, and VDOT set up a site to keep people updated on the construction. This makes sense because it's a really heavily travelled road and it's a multi-year project.

Another good "name the caption" type game could be played with one of the pictures from the road's photo gallery. My guess for this picture would be "I remember Spring Road when it was this big..."

And another scary photo.

Spring Road looks like an... interesting... place.

I will say that I am in one of the pictures on the site. But none that Ryan has linked to. :)

Paul - Regarding the "scary" photos....you LIVE close to this road? When are you planning on moving? I would be packing my bags upon viewing that last photo - a fine advertisement for the wonders of modern dentistry!
