• Illegal signs in right of way – Columbus Dispatch

Finally, someone may be doing something about these eyesores. My pet peeve is these signs that look like your neighbor hand-lettered, but when you call the number to inquire about the hot tub or whatever it’s a business. There’s enough visual pollution out there, these things are a nuisance. I ask myself, what would Edward Abbey do? He’d take ‘em or knock ‘em down. If our cities are not going to keep public property clean, we should all start destroying these things. Maybe the business community will get the idea we don’t want this ridiculous advertising.
