Late in the Clinton administration, I drove the interstate that passes close the Hope, AR. I have never seen a sign so abused as that along the interstate that said:
"Hope, Arkansas"
"The birthplace of William Jefferson Clinton."
There must have been a hundred dents from impact from objects heaved at the sign. There were also what appeared to be several shotgun blasts.
I commented about the sign on another internet forum and was told by an Arkansas resident that the sign had to be replaced every month due to this type of damage.
Since one comes upon the sign rather suddenly, one would have to be prepared to abuse the sign implying that most of the damage came from frequent travlers who were probably local.
"Everybody I talked to who went to high school (with Clinton) said he was a total straight arrow -- no alcohol at all -- basically was almost shy around the coeds or the young ladies"
