Big Pencil Stuck in a Wall

Dawn's giant pencil needs a little sprucing up, but is still a fun sight to see. Easily missed because of the trees, so keep a sharp eye out. It's directly across the street from the Safeway grocery.

Giant Pencil

Dawn's Office Supply Company has been under the same ownership since 1947 -- a disabled veteran who named the company after his German shepherd, Dawn. But the sign is the attraction.
