Re: Big Day Today!!

In today's Daily News, Local Brief Section -----

Meeting on 30A
signs set for today
SANTA ROSA BEACH ? The Walton County Tourist Development Council will hold a workshop today on the large blue way-finding and directional signs along County Road 30A.
The workshop will be at 5:30 p.m. the Coastal Branch Library.
Residents will be divided into groups to come up with suggestions to solve the controversy. The top three to five ideas will be taken back to the TDC, which will decide what to do.
The blue signs have prompted an outcry from locals who believe they are out of place.

Re: Big Day Today!!

Interesting, will the majority decide the top three?

1. Signs begin to be removed tomorrow, sent back to Orlando to be resold.
2. Signs begin to be removed tomorrow, dumped in Gulf as start of artificial reef.
3. Signs begin to be removed tomorrow, county uses them as framing for field house at Helen McCall.

Re: Big Day Today!!

Like your list. Could add
Signs begin to be removed tomorrow. TDC will use and pay Walton County PR, marketing, artists and building firms to avoid this type of mistake in the future.

Re: Big Day Today!!

I think we could relocate the signs to Eglin AFB in NoWal, and let the pilots use them for target practice. Of course, they may have to lower the signs so that they don't interfere with the their treetop flying.

Re: Big Day Today!!

Try this one:

You have been out maneuvered by the TDC Board.

1. Signs stay up

2. They get a coat of paint

3. Fountain grass planted at the base.

You loose because you do not realize you are in a war and are trying to mediate your way out of the fight.

I predict less than 50 people will show - alot of hollering, screeming and no real plan of action from the group

Re: Big Day Today!!

can we look forward to seeing you there puppetmaster?

for the signs to be repainted, they need to come down. when they come down, they can all be lowered to tombstone height. green and lower is an acceptable outcome(for me). your scenario is just that, another scenario. hopefully the TDC has realized their blunder and are receptive to an alternate outcome.
