normiss 620 #1 December 21, 2007 So I'm out Christmas shopping for the 1000th time in Atlanta while here for the holidays. Today we all went to the Towne Center at Cobb Mall. Upon entering the area there are those plastic signs stuck in the ground and on utility poles ALL OVER the damn place. They were for some rip off and dishonest skydiving reservation company tryin to entice people to buy gift certificates for Christmas. Given they are such a blight to the lovely nature around the mall area, I removed 16 of them from the area we went through. Just trying to do my part to maintain the natural beauty of the metropolitan Atlanta area. If they weren't made of highly toxic plastic, I would have burned them in the fireplace.

BillyVance 34 #3 December 21, 2007 Awesome, dude! I took down maybe 150 of those signs throughout the Birmingham and central Alabama area some 6 years ago. Think I still have one in my garage.

BillyVance 34 #4 December 21, 2007 Quote Pretty sure there's a sign ordinance there anyways. It's not like you called the advertising dropzone pretending to be an unnamed officer of the local PD or something. Dunno about Atlanta having a sign ordinance, but Alpharetta did have a big row with skyride over them, and skyride sacrificed one of their own employees rather than take responsibility for paying him to do what they hired him for.

billeisele 122 #6 December 21, 2007 the utility company loves you, it is illegal to place any sign on a utility pole, the staples and nails wreck the pole and make it harder/dangerous to climbGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

normiss 620 #16 December 21, 2007 You guys always go to Neighbors and that is like WAAAAYYYYY the fuck on the other side of town from Woodstock. Although the thought DID cross my mind for something to do tomorrow night...Which led me to google the pub...Besides, you'd just want to go home with me afterwards anyway...
