We’d be on a road trip and my dad would, out of the blue, start over-the-top laughing like he was insane. Then as we’d pass by the marker, he’d point and, deadpan, say, “Hysterical Point.”
On family road trips (long ago, when I was the kid in the car) we’d sometimes stop for an intriguing-looking Historical Marker. Typically, one got a bit of local lore that only a resident of that place could (possibly) love. Sometimes, the vandals won, though, especially in the case of “shoot me!” upright signs like Cul de Sac’s desecrated original….

That sign marks the spot where “color” was first introduced to the Cul de Sac community.

So Cul de Sac doesn’t have a town historian? Or a librarian?
