I’m really sad to see the departure of the JFG sign along I-277 in Charlotte.

I haven’t been a Charlotte resident in about a decade, but I just saw that sign Friday on the way to see Willie Nelson. I didn’t know then that it would be the last time.

Yeah. I know it’s just an advertisement, but it’s just an old piece of history that welcomes me to the city when I arrive via Freedom Drive.

I don’t fear change. I typically welcome it. But it’s still sad to see such changes in the skyline where little seems to be sacred.

I know new buildings will be erected, and highways will come through. But I’m still going to miss that old coffee sign that I used to see even before I drank coffee.
