  • Smiley Faces Signs

    Hi Would a category where Smiley face(s) on advertising signs be a good possibility? The sign would need to be permanent, not a banner, billboard, streamer or painted on a window.&nbsp;Preferred would be outdoor signs mounted on a pole, etc..&nbsp;&nbsp; Example say, would be if there was a&nbsp; buisness named ''Smiley's Grocery'' and there ...

  • Re: Firefighter memorials

  • Firefighter memorials

    Hi I have run across a very nice Firefighter memorial for local paid and volunteer fighters in a local ''county''. To my surprise, I did not see a category for firefighter memorials. I found the Police/Law enforcement and Veterans memorials. I found old fourms but did not see anyone (I guess) actually looking to begin one, or if it would be a ...

    I'll do some more checking to see about global prevalence. I was not sure if other countries had this sort of food entertainment/spectacle. Thanks for input!

  • Re: Proposal - Food or Meal challenge locations

    BruceS:I assume you are talking about places like the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas where they challenge you to eat a 72 ounce steak dinner and if you do within an hour it is free. Correct this type of challenge location as BruceS linked. There are a few TV shows on a Travel network that showcase some of these establishments also.

  • Proposal - Food or Meal challenge locations

  • Re: Cannot Post Waymarks

    Hi Since my original post, I have noticed that if I fill in all information EXCEPT anyhting in the long description it will go to the picture upload page. Then I uploaded pics, went to the preview waymark page and clicked the EDIT tab, and then added my long description, and it seems to work that way. After I did a few, I tried it the ''normal'' ...

  • Bell Tower passed peer review

    Hi The Belll Tower Category passed peer review. There were 75 votes, 68 yea's and 7 nays. All the nays had the same basic theme, which was redundant - should fit into a church / steeple /carillion catagories. I would agree with this IF bell towers were found ONLY at churches or all were carillions. This IS NOT another church category. Bell ...

  • Gauging opinions - Bell Towers

    Hi I do not know how ''Redundant''&nbsp; this would be. I know there is a group for Static Bells ( ground based)&nbsp;USUALLY a ceremonial piece. And for Carillons, of which I am an officer. I was wondering though, if just a group for you everyday Bell tower would make a possible group? Alot of churches have a bell tower standing next to, ...

    Thank you all for replies. For now, I will scratch the idea as after reading, I agree too few and too many cross waymarks. Again, thank you all.

    Hi Not to get too far off discussion, but I think the Corn mail box is one of the coolest thing I have seen in a LONG time! I also like the pole, it adds to it's uniqueness!! I also have had a pelican mailbox approved http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM4NZA Thank you &nbsp;

    HiI would like to think a little different. As more and more new members get started into Waymarking, these folks bring new ideas and suggestions (Good or bad) into the community. They (may) look at the groups and categories and think, I see McDonalds, I see Burger King, but what about Long John Silver? (EXAMPLE) In short, maybe instead of calling ...

    Hi I ran into this problem before and have now ran into it again.
