After 23 years of business, never having to get a permit for a sign, the sign police came out and made us remove one of our signs. The other signs we have are permitted in already, but the t-shirt sign had to be removed. The way Tsn City Council makes decisions regarding signs that affect small businesses is ruining our local economy. It hurts businesses. They bite the very hand that feeds them.
Apparently, the code enforcement people only go out when "citizens" complain. These idiots have nothing better to do with their life than drive around a bitch about signs that they think aren't in compliance. Really? Can't we all just get along? OOOH, here's an idea: I could take ALL my signs down and open a meth lab, make 100x the money I'm making now, not pay taxes, and not have to worry about signs. Would that be better? Sheesh...
All kidding aside, it's hard enough to stay in business in this economy without people ruining my only way to draw people in to get t-shirts. Just trying to earn an honest living here!!
