This reminds me of a sign in my town. It invites people to spend the day, but doesn't suggest what you might do; there's little to do here in Where The Hell is That?, New Hampshire. I like the sarcasm of "sights" in this sign and wish our sign was a little more (if unintentionally) honest.
Yeah, I've been to Grants. When you reflect that the "sights" are pretty much what surrounds the billboard in this picture, the quotation marks seem pretty accurate.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

"See the 'sights'" when combined with "stay the night" does sound suggestive. Personally i like the advice "exit now".
Ha ha I live in NM! This sounds about right!

Wow! I live in Grants, and I've seen that billboard before. Sorry about the procrastination.
Perhaps hotel rooms in NM don't have curtains... therefore, "sights" will be seen!
Nice stuff...
thanks for sharing....
