People are beginning to 'avert their eyes' from such signs because they are so annoying. I know I do. If you want to turn me away from your business or cause, just put up one of those offensive signs.<br /><br />The old neon signs are not all great, but they do have a charm about them when well done is quite attractive.<br /><br />I did some research on Google and found that you can actually just put LED rope in place of the neon tubes and get the same look for less money. If some stores did that, I would be in favor of it.<br /><br />Any more hideous signs like Dress For Less and I will have no place to put my eyes and might have to drive through downtown with my eyes closed....and I am thinking that is not good!Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-3789946372700761662015-04-29T11:10:13.665-07:002015-04-29T11:10:13.665-07:00The Grand has lots of good solar exposure and PV a...The Grand has lots of good solar exposure and PV already installed. The sign should still be LEDs made to look like an old neon sign though.<br /><br />The sign that should have been rejected is the hideous Bentleys sign at Liberty and Trade (facing south to capture all the cars heading north).Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731260619465817652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-86389867887661097772015-04-29T10:14:50.608-07:002015-04-29T10:14:50.608-07:00Great idea SBOB.
