A sign on the wall at Wintzell’s Oyster House in downtown Mobile has promised free oysters to any man who turns 80 and walks in with his father. For decades, no one had claimed it — until now.
The article shows everything except a picture of the sign they keep referencing.

Pretty sad that this is the best thing Alabama can push as 'news'.
They're probably both still working too.
Pops is gonna get recalled for one last tour in Iran.
They didn't "win" anything. It's a standing offer via signage.
I'm in Alabama. Wintzell's is great. The sign is real.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
