‘Blue’ over the wayfinding signs?

They’re large……they’re blue………they’re on 30A!
Oh my goodness! Please prepare for Armageddon. The end is most certainly near.
That’s the exact translation my brain makes when I hear people in South Walton complain about the new wayfinding and community locater signs. (”Blah, blah, blah”….which equates to “me, me, me” in realistic terms.)
I’ll go out on a limb here and say that I don’t like a whole lot of houses along 30A. Either they’re too gaudy or they’re just too cookie cutter for my taste. Gee whiz, I think t omorrow I’ll get out the ol’ phone book and make some calls to these trashy people and tell them they need to get their style in check pronto (all at their expense of course). Or better yet, I’ll just start digging up all of those for sale/lease signs that look like the bottom side of my shoe.
Brilliance!
I happen to live on 30A and I happen to think the signs are a bit over the top. So what? I didn’t pay for them and neither did you. I didn’t live here when the design was conjured up seven years ago and even if i did, I would have no merit to complain unless I attended the TDC meetings or contacted my local officials about what I wanted to see done.
For seven years these things have been drifted around county eyes and nobody made a peep until they were dug into the ground. Where were you SoWal? Why should the TDC suddenly be shelled for doing what they thought was right for the community? (by steering tourists into businesses and other money pits that are located in different beaches nobody in the world knows)
Yesterday at the TDC meeting in which the signs were addressed, I was hoping to see at least one person stand up and explain how they had fought against these otrasities. I just wanted one person I could quote saying “These were wrong and I told you so years ago.”
But it never happened.
Maybe more people should get out and volunteer or pick up a new hobby. Or better yet, attend a TDC meeting once in a while to safeguard your interests.
Just my .02
