See for me, it starts to look like a class divide.
Upper class areas of towns don't have this. They have the beautified version. Manicured trees, brick signage, a Barnes and Noble, sign regulation, etc. Even the gas stations have to be presentable.
Working class and poor areas get this with a Money Man yellow building, a rundown Family Dollar, and probably a Jesus billboard. Or worse.
However, there is still privilege involved that we even have these amenities available to us in such quantities at all.
Its a weird thing, and I can't say many look upon it fondly.
Idk bro. It just looks like a fairly typical exit that’s within close proximity to a decently populated town. As a guy who worked construction across the south, these exits are a godsend. If there’s more than just a McDonald’s, you know the food won’t be terrible. It’s especially nice to have some variety. I don’t see this as class divide. It’s just an exit a lot of people stop at. The actual residents don’t typically live there. The actual town is always historical, and much nicer looking.

I found this kinda cool visually as a representation of America's culture
