What is a Sign War?

Sign wars are all in good fun. They're a way to get passersby a laugh or two, boost community morale, potentially bring in some more customers, and maybe even go viral. It all starts with one business with a letter sign calling out a neighboring business.

Currently, a sign war of epic proportions is happening in Christiansburg, Virginia. This one was started by a local music shop calling out Super Shoes. Then a Japanese restaurant, gas stations, and a church got involved! And the local businesses continue to grow and join in on the fun.

There's even a Facebook Group with over 20k members that you can join here to keep up with the ever-changing signs!
