I've lived here for a year. I am always proud to take friends and family to Seaside and I really enjoy going there. I am bothered by the signs in theory but ignore them in practice...
But I am having a hard time with the security guards walking around in bright red bouncer polo shirts with SECURITY on the back and military/SWAT style fatigues and boots...
:roll:
IMHO- if they were truly and solely there to protect someone/something from someone else/something else then they would arguably be far more effective if they worked undercover...
They are there for show- as a deterrent. This might make sense in many places throughout the US (e.g. shopping malls, baseball parks, parades, etc.)...
BUT IN SEASIDE? C'mon...
So ask the tough question-
What are they trying to deter?
Let's be honest here...
I believe they are trying to deter-
People from ignoring those signs. People from going down those streets. People from stepping on those beaches...
Go ahead. Set me straight...
