Good Luck!
Guessing Truman Road looking east a little after M-291 but then I am wondering why a major billboard ad would be placed in a "going away from the city position."

I wonder about the sign too. Can't say that I remember one going east, or the house (if that's what it is) on the left side of the road.

It looks like it's one of those PSA "just say no" type ads . . . those could go anywhere

Yup, that is looking east on Truman from under M-291 back in 1988. Perhaps the billboard was to advertise to workers headed to Lake City or the Power Plant.

Nice going, WCHS! Maybe the "house" on the left was demo'd when they put in the exit off of 291 and widened Truman. That billboard threw me, (at the same time looking vaguely familiar) which I'm sad to say, since I've lived just east of there for over 40 years. Guess it shows ya how much I was paying attention!

It really looked like that area of Truman Road in the old days but that sign did throw me a curve.The clear flat land on the south side of the rode seemed to be familiar.

Perhaps this view will help clear the cobwebs from your memory banks.
