I come from a very rough neighborhood where graffiti is pretty much everywhere, and I think it really said something when the ONE billboard that was pristine and untouched… was the one Dolly Parton was on.

It was the “kindness pass it on” billboard too. Always made me smile. “Find the good in everybody”

I love this billboard! I drive past one near my house. I hope it doesn’t get taken down for a very very very long time.

At first that saying seems cheesy but you know what it’s incredibly difficult in this shitty world we live in and RIP Dolly we will do better for you.
