Shrimps, Live Crabs!

Cosgrove Ave., North Charleston, S.C.
I spent the day in meetings at Trident Technical College and this sign is one of the little gifts always waiting for me when I cut through Cosgrove Ave. to get back on the highway. I love the red curly hand painted letters. Sorry for the color - I had to take it through the windshield at a stop light. Shrimps! Jala-peno Peppers! Step right up.

Mmmmmm! Sounds delicious. Now I'm hungry again.

Is the plural of shrimp "shrimps"?

It is around here! There is a corner store close to me that just puts out a sign that says "LIVE". We are supposed to know it means Live Crabs. Love it.

I'll take the seafood; you can keep the okra!

A bowl of shrimp and grits would be nice right about now, with a side of fried okra.

We grew up calling shrimp "shrimps"; it's a hard habit to break even years later and far from Charleston!

Beach Bum - you get everyone's okra I guess. I can eat it but I never go asking for it.

Julia - that is cute!

I'd love a little bit of everything. My canvas shopping bags would be filled to overflowing after a stop here.

Nothing like a good bit of signage. This is a fine one!
