signage

There's a run-down strip of storefronts that I drive past on my way home. For years it's contained only a mini-mart, with a big sign out by the street that says:
Neighborhood Mini Mart
Bread
Milk
WIC Accepted

Just recently there's been some signs of new activity in the strip. And now the sign says:
Neighborhood Mini Mart
Liquor
Beads
WIC Accepted

Hey, dude, let's pick up some beads since we're stopping to get beer and chips.
