New big blue signs in SoWal

Re: Big blue signs in SoWal [merged poll]

Has anyone contacted the TDC to request to see information on the other 120 signs to be placed along 30A by the TDC? Maybe this is something we should jump on, since the funds were approved just last month.

It seems fairly obvious that our opinions don't matter to the TDC. So far no one from the TDC has asked for any kind of input. I would think at least something from them scolding us for not attending meetings.

With 766 people on here considering the signs to be "horrid," and another 141 not liking them, plus a couple of converts who changed their mind, now thinking they are horrid, I think if Kris Titus received 900+ emails regarding the horrid signs, inquiring if the new 120 signs coming soon, would be as horrid, they would begin to listen. They sure as heck won't listen if we don't say anything to them.

Now who has Kris Titus' email address?

Once again somebody cried an got me edited. So, the only reason I can figure for the signage is that it is the Redneck Riviera. Meaning Blue Collar T.V. fans will understand. Here's your sign!

All opposed sending emails to Kris Titus a good idea, include your support of Dave R.'s letter if you approve of it's content.

You know, I liked the old signs, but somebody thought it was a good idea to have a sign ordinance to start with! Tombstone style! Then to compare SoWal with Bay and Okaloosa Counties?!!! Has anyone noticed that Bay and Okaloosa Counties are thriving, growing, communities? So, we're the graveyard between 2 cities? What's the complaint about the new signs? The color? What, not white or cream? The audacity to think they could have a bold color? In SoWal, the unique, artist's community? NO!!! The size? They aren?t 20 feet, you know, if the signs do not comply with the sign ordinance then the county is breaking the ordinance, and should be penalized! What? Maybe it?s just CHANGE!!! Nobody wants change, and certainly not to be different!

just come out and say it. do you like the signs?

Remember, these are the signs we paid an EXTRA $40K for (20% more than the 2nd highest bidder) because the company (in Ft. Walton) was local and would do a better job.

actually the tourists paid for the signs, with the bed tax on short term rentals, not walton county taxpayers. the tdc gets the money and we know the tdc has more money than sense.

I remember that remark from Ms. Meadows. Do you think they are over there in FWB laughing their @$$ off at how much they made off of our "tourists"? In such a short amount of time? It hasnt been very long at all that they OK'd that bid. Good money for such a quick fabrication/install IMO.
