This street sign on Lakeshore Rd. E. In Oakville should be good for a chuckle.

Yeah! Super cool read about ford using scrap lumber from the production of model t's.

Said he was trying to be less wasteful, but I'm sure he really just saw an opportunity to make aome more cash lol.

The street signs are cool for sure. I never really thought about the invention of charcoal briquttes before though.

Also read that Clorox now owns kingsford.

You know, I've been driving by that sign every once in a while for years and years and the relationship what it said for the two halves of the cross street and the charcoal brands only dawned on me recently.  I honestly have no idea if it's co-incidence or what that they did that in Oakville.
