That's the wildest spelling of my name I have seen in awhile. Regarding Reporter, Sean Boon's Merry thing; Gwen Break, the editor of the Walton Sun called me yesterday and she is printing the correct quote I made regarding the need for all the signs to be married on Scenic 30-A. Thanks Gwen!

ya know, the only way I can read that sign is if I open the top of my car and stand on the seat...

The sign going east before Alys Beach and west before Rosemary Beach each have four names on them also.

Concensus with discussions I've had with family, friends and others in the community, have ALL asked "what was wrong with the wood signs?" They were unique and said a lot in it's simplicity and naturalness. I agree, the other signs, even though high maintenance and highly collectable, would be my choice. More than likely a LOT less expensive to reporduce....$300. each 12 years ago. Make 2 or 3 of each sign so there will be one for back up if needed.

I think that should be a rallying cry to go along with Commissioners, Please take down the big blue monster signs -- What was wrong with the old signs we had?

Some other things I don't get about these signs:

Why are there different fonts? Some have a sans-serif font, others have a serif font. And why are they of such varying heights? It's not a function of amount of content either.
