New big blue signs in SoWal

[Smiling JOe]

According to the TDC's spokeperson, the total costs of those signs is $260,000, or $5306 per sign on average. Not all of the signs are erected.

...and there is another $160,000 allocated to spend on 100+ more signs along the Timpoochee Trail (multi-use trail along 30A).

Hmmmmmm.

That doesn't make me smile Joe.

It seems there are more signs than sights nowadays.

Thanks for the pics, Kurt. It's hard to put in perspective just how ugly they are without good pictures...the pictures help. What a nasty mess.

Good Morning from Tampa JOe. Still thinking of Y'all down here. There are 17
days until the Commissioners meeting. If we prevail, there will be no signs by March. To quote a prominent developer on 30-A. "The big blue monsters must go!" Meditate on that......

Good morning from Tampa Dave. Sincerest thanks for all your efforts.

I think we should insist that the TDC immediately order two more signs.

Welcome To Brickyard Beach

Welcome to Beach Highlands Beach

:funn:

Brickyard Beach....it is one of the original landmarks! Boy those were the days!

The sign that has me baffled is the one on 331 causeway! Welcome to Walton County! What are they thinking...better yet that's it, they didn't think at all from what I can see in the finished product!

I'm rather surprised that they didn't make the 331 sign, "Welcome to South Walton County," because they seem to think it is a different county than Walton County. You know, like West Virginia vs Virginia.

I agree...not sure where there heads were in this...The way it reads though is very confusing to tourist...it's not the county line and shouldn't read like it is!

Though maybe it's a sign that the south is the most important part of the county...we have been overlooked for a long time...Sowallers will make sure that changes! I feel it in my bones...the south will rise!

The sign should read welcome to Sowal and on the reverse side welcome to CenWal and one at Defunkyack that says Welcome to NoWal. Hows that for a run-on sentence. No Grammar check!!!!

 

[Smiling JOe]

I am also surprised that a marketing team like the TDC hasn't included their website address on each sign.

These signs were built by the lowest bidder, Pretty scary Huh! Wonder what the other bids were?
