While running errands yesterday I noticed two of the Monster Blue Signs near Rosemary have been repainted black. We all know they were supposed to come down I think about three years ago but I must admit, I still don't like them but they look better in black. Will notice when I drive to Seasdide this morning how many have been repainted so far.

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? :dunno:

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:

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:
