Big Blue Monsters--Gotta Go?

From a distance, they look like porta potties to a runner with a tiny bladder.

Maybe y'all could work out a salvage deal with Johnny On-The-Spot.

I am in Houston using my laptop with which I am not totally familar yet.(To tell the truth, I don't know if I ever will be. It has a mind of its own) The link provided would not work for me. I created my own email and hope you got it.

Anyone wanting a BBM sticker may pick one up at Bud & Alley's; ask the manager and he will give you one. Thanks!! Dave

I just listened to Dave R. on NPR and he did a terrific job. I'll be at the March 26th meeting.

I listened to Dave on RapLine as well. He is a great spokesperson for The Scenic Pride Initiative.

We need everyone to attend the workshop at The Coastal Branch Library, 26 March, 5:30 p.m.

In the meantime, please write to the County Commissioners and let them know you want more "community compatible" signs; please copy the TDC as well.

I suppose everyone understands this but me...Why does the TDC seem to have so much power? How can their wishes override residents and property owners?

Also I noticed that a stop sign by Target in Pier Park looks a lot like the blue signs (arched metal with a flat sign in the middle).

I still think the blue signs could be unbolted and resold in Pier Park or someplace similar. Somebody can repaint them. I don't like the idea of keeping them and just planting flowers at the base. The only plant that might help would be kudzu that would completely cover them...

I agree, but it is not an all or nothing thing. The TDC is showing nothing but ego right now, they spent the money and are really unwilling to admit they made a mistake, it does not look like they will take the signs down. The company that made the signs are out of Orlando (no duh!) and they are the same company that is doing Pier Park, when it was suggested to the TDC that that may be an option for making back the 250,000 they spent (no lie) the response was a chuckle. I don't think the TDC is going to take these signs down.

If the TDC does not take them down the Board of Commissioners will. We are just getting started folks. We are not going anywhere. I feel a Reagan moment coming on.... "Commissioners take those signs down!" Thanks to Wally Crawford from WKGC 90.7 for giving us a half an hour on the air tonight.

I'll be there on the 26th and try to bring a couple of others with me. Maybe everyone could bring a friend and a petition could be passed around.
