New big blue signs in SoWal

Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread

The sign at the foot of the bridge was not taken down by the TDC, but was ran over druing the night...bu what seems a fairly large truck. The TDC had it removed before too many saw it that morning! One down...hoepfully they do soemthing with the rest of them before someone takes them down too!

For the record, I was only kidding earlier when I suggested that Commissioner Jones might have ran over the sign with his pickup truck. I had just guessed that the TDC had it removed. I never even looked to see if it broke away. I'll have to remember to look tomorrow.

I'd suggest sending the emails at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Also whatever you send is public record, so it would be a good idea to give rational and well-thought-out arguments. In particular, one can disagree with their decision to put up these signs without attacking them personally and making derogatory statements towards the council members themselves.

Great words o' wisdom!

Someone stuck a round, bright blue bumper stick in my front door yesterday--It says Big Blue Monsters Must Go!

It is perfect!!!.....I stuck it to my white car and have already been honked at with a thumbs up sign by a stranger..wow..and now I am an activist! Is this the approved protest bumber sticker??

I knew you and others by the post were not aware of it's removal method...neither was I until I noticed the way it was taken down...We as sowallers are doing the right thing by raising awareness and debating the removal ina civil manner. Just thought you would enjoy the knowledge of how it seems the 331 sign came down. Jsut shows that if the TDC doesn't do soemthing quick to solve the problem...people...not sowallers...will show their dis-taste in them.

We must make sure to keep the 30A feel the same...people pay big money for the way it feels...and we make a living off of that same feeling. 30A is a Treasure to be Preserved!

Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread

Can someone get us the info on the stickers...I was given one Fat Tues...It is hanging in Hurricane Oyster Bar now...but would love to get some to hand out to everyone!

Let all of us know...if you know where we can get them!

To bad we can't use the picture SmilingJo took of the 331 sign...it shows best how horrid the signs are...and how they totally intrefere with the sunsets we are so blessed with....

The Disney/Commercial image they portray has got to go...Starbucks Coffee is pushing it already. The 30A area was built on being quant and the small beachy feeling! We can't let that get lost!

Yeah! God Forbid! The next thing you know some group of whackos will want to lump all the small, quaint areas together and stick a Big Orange sign on it and call it THE? Beach :roll:

Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread

Sorry, but I forgot to look for the missing sign today. No pic. It is so nice seeing the view rather than some stupid sign that is located about 90 miles out of place, that I forgot to notice its absence. I was too busy looking at the view to notice how cleanly the sign broke away.

Sunsetbaby, I agree that it is good to see everyone being very civil in the way we reject the signs. There is no need to deface the signs to make our point, as much as anyone would love to do so.

I totally agree JOe. No question we need to take the high road regarding the signs. I don't advocate defacing in any way or removing any of the signs. First of all it's against the law and secondly it is not the proper way to get our point across.

It is enough that most people don't think the signs represent Scenic 30-A. If we attend the meeting at the TDC this Wednesday at 9:00 we will get our point across. Sending letters will get our point across. If someone really tore down the sign on 331 they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

There may few a few available at the TDC meeting; I've seen them around too. Someone e-mailed this to me. I posted the link on the bottom of one of my postings on page one of this Thread; click on it and copy to reproduce.
