World's Tallest Telescoping Style Signpost

It's a not so well known fact that the Burger King in Cozad, NE features the world's tallest telescoping style signpost. At least, it did at one point. Driving by Cozad today, I decided to snap some long overdue pics of the famed signpost. I also went inside the Burger King, and was saddened to discover that the mini museum to the signpost that used to be in the lobby is now gone. I asked an employee about it, and he looked at me like I was an idiot. Fortunately, an older woman who had apparently worked at the store for a long time was familiar with the signpost's lore. She said they had taken the mini museum down a few years ago, but she wasn't sure why. She figured it was because they had built a taller telescoping style signpost somewhere else. A search of the web has yielded no additional information. That means that this blog post will have to stand as the only permanent recognition of this great telescoping style signpost.

  1. if there is a larger telescoping sign out there i've never seen it! Now the Sapp Brothers have a large coffee pot on stilts that may be similar...but definitely in a different league.
