Monster Blue Signs Are Now Black.

I was just getting coffee and sitting down to start the same thread! I noticed one between Blue Mt. and Gulf Place. They are creeping back in....:lol:

Me too, saw it yesterday. The good-they are much less noticeable. The bad-the boondoggle of paying for huge ass wayfinding signage that nobody will notice. I guess the compromise is a good one for the blue monster haters. WHO is married to these things? :idontno:

Must be B.P.'s fault :sarc:

I noticed a new City of Freeport sign like these yesterday, but painted dark green which blended in well. Haven't seen the black ones yet.

These are better (bar wasn't exactly set high), just can't help thinking that we have a lot of people suffering in our community, yet we are spending thousands on each of these stupid signs.

We now have more directional signs than we have major roads. At some point, common sense needs to be involved.

Nice that they moved the one on 395, so you can now follow its directions to Seagrove for several hundred feet before you drive into the gulf. :roll:

oh for the days when all we had to bitach about was the big blue signs.......

Every day at the Grayton beach access I see the Big Blue sign - only it is getting smaller and smaller as the sand sweeps in around the bottom. Nice to see the dunes growing.

What is annoying to me is that there are the big blue metal signs combined with the Watercolor-styled signs combined with the standard signs put up by the State of Florida. It's all just a big tacky mess.

Some of the signs are really annoying because the message is so obvious. If you are on your bike and can't see an intersection ahead, you shouldn't be on a bike in a high-traffic area.

And then there's the most annoying one which Scooty says has been taken down. http://www.sowal.com/bb/sowal-lounge/13082-random-thoughts.html#post720092

Sorry, BR - that sign is just shorter, darker, and a little further away.

To get to Seagrove from 395 you still drive straight. :roll:

Argh!

I believe just that one dumb sign has a cost approaching $6K - ARGH ^10!

(my math is $2500 a sign, plus installation, removal, and installation)

I think the signs down on the 30A bike path are a real hoot. When you ride a bike on the path, it is like being in "Safety Town". Hope the safety signs are at least effective.

Have you gotten a load of the green "street signs" used to mark the dune lakes since last year. Just hope a tourist driving at night does not mistake the dune lake signs for a road and decide to take a right or a left and accidently drive into a lake.

I am glad to see that the directional signs are a color that at least blends in better. I hope there are reflectors on the signs so night drivers can see to avoid the sign if they run off the road.

Ok, I will stop my ramble. Have a nice day everyone.

the only signs missing are the "This is the beach/roadside....not your personal ash tray/trash receptacle" ones for the terminally stupid.

what is it w/all these signs? did someone buy a sign company? :idontno: enough already...after the Big Blue ones, I especially dislike the green street signs next to all the lakes and streams ...

Hi Glenda, I guess it is just a sign of the times! (pretty lame joke, huh?)

What I find interesting is the fact that the blue signs went back up for several weeks and nobody noticed. Now they blend better and suddenly people are up in arms again. They blend much better and to quite frank sowal stickers will really "pop" on them. Perhaps we could all band together, b!tch without a solution, and waste some more bed tax dollars on another attempt. :idontno:

It might be nice if everyone looked past the signs at the beautiful surroundings available to all of us.

There are two signs on hwy 81 that say "Hughes ditch". wtf?
Now we're naming ditches? :idontno: :lol:

lets add "pick up your dogs feces, stupid!" i cannot believe how many people think it's okay to just leave the crap anywhere. the area in blue mountain by the Retreat gets ridiculous. it' like stepping over live mines!
