Baseball signs gotta go
So it's baseball time again. I can tell because the I live across from a softball field and endure the noice, the lights and now these signs that block out the view of the entire park. I wasn't home when they put them up so they put them up really high and blocked out our entire view of the ballfield and park.
I called cityhall to find out who puts up these advertising signs and was told "what signs?" I don't know how that helps the problem but I am not blind, there are the new signs...
We have a new mayor in town. I know him so I called him to see if he could find out who puts up advertisements in the city park and how can I get them to move/remove the signs so that we can sit outside in the front of our house and watch the ballgames.
Soon afterwards we see them walk past our house and check it out. Yup, there are signs there. The next day the signs are moved over. I now can sit and watch the games again. Hurray!
Okay it wasn't a big deal to anyone else, but I am a taxpayer and have the right to complain. Anyone else in the city has to ask permission to put up a sign, so why can they block out my view without asking me? Crazy thing is no one ever asked me if I wanted to buy a sign for my business.
So at least it's fixed!
