Advertising Barn - DeKalb County, AL As someone who looks for old fashioned advertisement painted on a barn, there seem to be a higher concentration of them in DeKalb County, AL than anywhere else I've been. This one was located on highway AL89 south of Desoto Falls State Park and advertises a local real estate company. In my pictures, there ads on both sides but one side is quite faded. These pictures were taken in 2013. While I could find this using Google Street View, the barn is still there but the ads are gone and it doesn't look much like this today. Street View: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4763089,-85.6292391,3a,75y,346.7h,83.4t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sIZ4w6N0tkrNfM4hrdTWbLw!2e0!5s20140401T000000!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en&authuser=0" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.google.com/maps/@34.4763089,-85.6292391,3a,75y,346.7h...</a> At the top, it says Little River Mentone Properties with a logo below. (Mentone is about 10 miles to the north and Little River Canyon is 10 miles to the south.) There's half of a portrait of the agent on the right, but the top half fell off. Mountain, River and Investment Properties.

At the top, with Real Estate Loan Specialist, is the name Eva purposefully painted over. Just like the other side, there's a large portrait of an Agent, but the top half has come loose.
