We have four exits...and have a sign to prove it. Now, the state didn't post the sign. It's tongue-in-cheek. It looks like a genuine road sign, but it is just a genuine reproduction of a road sign. Sometimes we need a sign. Sometimes we are the sign.
Patterson, Main, and Scott are three of the exits. Don't blink or you'll miss them. Now, I'll have to do some research to figure out who Patterson and Scott are, or were as the case may be. Main Street goes without saying. Pretty much every town is founded with a Main Street. Perhaps you drive one daily.
The story is told that the sign was for visitors from the East coast coming for a wedding. They kept asking for directions and which exit to take. Granted we are a little difficult to find. But which exit is rarely an issue. Perhaps you can see the humor in our sign saying Stockham, Next 4 Exits.

The last exit, or the first depending on which way you are coming, is Grace Street. Quite fitting. We could all use a street full of grace. Maybe even more than a street full. If that is the case, I'd like all the exits to lead to grace. The next four, heck, even the next 44. Even if that never happens, I know we've found grace in Stockham.
