New big blue signs in SoWal

Re: Big blue signs in SoWal [merged poll]

yes they are great if you like disney in sowal. :roll: this is still a very small town with extraordinary natural beauty. there is absolutely no need for giant blue signs up and down our scenic drive. they are tasteless, and certainly out of character for our area. I think most residents who or upset about the signs understand the importance of preserving the unique beauty and character of sowal, at least whenever we can.

That, is a matter of opinion. Personally, I think the tombstone should be out of character, however, is SoWal living up to its town symbol? You know, poverty is horrid, starvation is horrid, swollen bellies in Africa is horrid, mistreatment is horrid, I do not see where this sign fits into that category.

I think you inadvertently posted in the wrong thread, and forum for that matter.

Hey, if we painted the big tall ones green those would make excellent deer stands. Or if painted red life guards could use them? Did anyone notice that Seaside and Watercolors took their signage down.

I did notice the Watercolor sign on the western entrance has been removed...not sure why, theirs looked a whole lot better.

As a frequent visitor for many years to the lovely areas along 30a, I was stunned to see these horrid signs. Places like Seaside, Grayton Beach, Rosemary Beach and Seagrove deserve better. 30A has always been one of the prettiest areas in Florida but now with these signs, it has become the nightmare Florida that you read about in Carl Hiassen books. My first thought when seeing them last week was "what happened, were they out of neon flashing signs like the Las Vegas strip?" I hope the citizens and visitors of the area can raise enough anger to have these signs replaced soon by some low key classy looking product! Hey, I live in California. Trust me I know bad signage!!!

I did, did you?

I think 72% of people voting the signs as Horrid, speaks to that issue. I guess dictionaries are only as good as their users.

I think you're flying solo on this one FG.
