Besides the ubiquitous Kansas Jayhawks and occasional K-State Wildcats, we also have the white oval with **LFK** , which stands for Lawrence Fucking Kansas. ---

There used to be a townie bar that opened at 7 am for the folks getting off of the overnight shift. “I Opened Johnny’s Tavern” was a frequently seen bumper sticker back in the 80’s. (Sometime in the 90’s - possibly after an ownership change - Johnny’s got taken over by the college crowd. I’m pretty sure it has been many years since they opened at 7 am.) ---

You’ll see a whole lot of Florida Gators and [Satchel’s Pizza](https://www.satchelspizza.com/) bumper stickers in this town. I’ve lived in the area over twenty years and never been to Satchel’s. 🤷‍♀️ ---

Another highway sign. People all over Michigan identify their 'hood with their “M-[Hwy No.]” stickers. I’ve got to get an **M** - **99** one myself… The most picturesque is **M** - **22** that runs along Lake Michigan… (What am I? Mapquest? Look it up yourself).

A friend moved to Madison, WI in the ‘80s, and quipped "I’m excited to live in the city with the most "Free Tibet’ bumper stickers per capita in the world." ---

This thread is reminding me of how little I get out on the road anymore. Not representative of FL, but I see Tim’s Barbershop window stickers everywhere. There’s a Tim’s down the street from me and my then bf once got a haircut there. While he was in the chair, someone from the shop put a sticker on his car window. He was pissed! Anyway, that’s when I started seeing the stickers all the time and thought “Wow, they pull that obnoxious shit on everyone”. That’s when someone here told me Tim’s is a chain 🤦‍♀️ Lots of Tampa Bay Bucs stickers but oddly enough I don’t see too many Lightning or Rays ones. ---

One I saw here in the DC area several (10?) years ago was “NMCI Sucks!” Only in the DC area would someone have a bumper sticker complaining about the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet!

> [@WOOKINPANUBv.2](#): > > While he was in the chair, someone from the shop put a sticker on his car window. I see a lot of bumper stickers from the Santa Cruz Mystery Spot, and I suspect they do the same thing. Some of these tourist traps post something along the lines of “By parking in our lot you give us permission to place a bumper sticker on your car.” When my family visited [Tweetsie Railroad](https://tweetsie.com/) when I was a kid I remember afterwards my parents noticed some fine print on their receipt that said something like “If you don’t want a bumper sticker, leave your passenger side sun visor down”. Just by coincidence the passenger’s visor was down, so they didn’t get one. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bumper-sticker-that-best-represents-your-state-area/952227.md?page=1)
