Signs - are they really a problem?

Signs signs signs, everywhere are signs. So what? Are they really the devil as some in the City of Jacksonville claim, or do these government employees just need more to do? I think they are good to show people where local businesses are located. After all don't we as a society have more to worry about like teens on their cell phone while driving....anyway these kids are not our target market anyway. But really $250 for a first offense? Is the city that much of a pain to money? Guess so. But signs do work, otherwise people would not put them out. So do it and try it and see what happens in real estate. Jack
