I might should have posted this here as well?

Was in Inlet Beach last week. Loved the sticker on the ugly sign on South Orange St. I believe it said, These Big Blue Monsters Must Go! I agree 110 percent.
For those of us who can't be at the meeting and can only show up in spirit, please make lots of noise. Those blue signs have to go. As Barney would say, we have to nip it, nip it in the bud, before SoWal looks like a junket on International Drive or one of those vacation resorts at Disney.
If you can't be at the meeting, you can email the TDC. See my post at [ame="http://sowal.com/bb/showpost.php?p=358642&postcount=42"]SoWal Beaches Forum - View Single Post - New big blue signs in SoWal[/ame] .
Ditto!
Seriously, what are the odds that I'd have to work at 9am on a Wednesday :roll:.
Thank you for that information. I've sent my email.
You are welcome. I need to fire mine off tonight as well.

The signs are too tall and too obvious, and too industrial. It's hard to put words to why they are so f-ugly, but I just hope that someone at the TDC has the guts to stand up and admit a mistake. This is no call for heads, despite the $260K wasted on the project.... the TDC does not answer to me, as I'm simply a frequent tourist, but I'd be more impressed if they just looked at the facts here, and admitted a mistake and try to work a way forward (after ripping them down).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how these signs could be recycled?
It might help if we give the TDC some recycling suggestions. I suggest we send them to Gary, Indiana, where they could rebrand as the Beaches of South Michigan, and with a bit of paint, these signs would blend right into the shipyards and industrial parks that comprise the better side of town.

I finally remembered to look for the remains of the missing sign from the 331 bridge. The signs are supposed to be break away signs, I'm guessing for safety reasons. However, there is not any evidence remaining that a sign ever existing at that sign. If it was cemented in like the others, they would have needed a backhoe to dig that sucker out. I'm guessing that if a vehicle would have ran over the sign, knocking it down, the County wouldn't have removed the anchoring base of the sign, too. I'm guessing that there may be more to this story.
