This day in Bumby history
This sign gives some insight into and the history of the street name "Bumby." Are these signs new? I saw another one near Lake Ivanhoe.

I've passed this sign hundreds of times, but never read it.
Now I know.
Thanks for posting. I've never noticed the sign, although I know where the store building is.
It's a bit shocking how illiterate this sign is. You'd think that something cast in metal and placed as a permanent marker would be executed with a bit more care.
Someone needs to buy the name "Bumby Hardware" and continue it as the oldest business (with a huge gaping hole of non-existance, but still)
I think the sign has been up for a year or so. The Bumby family was responsible for the sign's creation.
Thanks, I also drive by this sign everyday and have always wondered...
Saw this for the first time a week or so ago. I’ve been interested in making one of these signs for a while now. Soon, I hope.
Now thats interesting. I didn't know private companies made these signs. They all look so official, I assumed they were created by some government entity. I'd love to make a series of random markers and place them around town. If only they were cheap.
Two words: Eccentric Billionaire.
Joy Dickinson wrote about it in Florida Flashbacks in June of '08 so it's been up since then.
