   Being a city also doesnt mean everything down town needs to look alike either.

   I remember vote against this when on council. I thought at the time the measure failed. If I remember correctly there is a set number of billboards allowed in the city limits.

   Well, the entire thing is ugly and has been for a long time. Looks like there might be some kind of construction going on? 2-3 week-ends of "yard work" would go a long way toward lessening the ugly. ??

   Doo-Dah

   P.S. Being a "city" does not necessarily equate with everything being an eyesore.

   Part of the fall out from a 1990’s City of Asheville lawsuit with the billboard companies. Something like 10 of these have been pre-approved in certain highway corridors, if… the sign companies agree to take down bunches of billboards out of residential or historical key re-development districts. Most every city in WNC prohibits these types of signs. CityCouncil actually amended their UDO to ALLOW them…

   Is it crooked or is one of my legs shorter than the other?
