Like Aaron's it's probably just a corporate template suited for a site on an outparcel on some 5 lane arterial. They should be left at those type of sites. But they most likely are blindly submitted by the corporation and then blindly accepted by the city.<br /><br />If the concern is somebody being able to see your sign from 2-3 blocks away instead of one, just put a projecting sign off the builing like Taboo and some others on Main St. One is not trying to inspire/get the attention of commuters zoombie driving past at 50 mph. If you are in the city, you are driving slow enough to find a place and most likely in the area on purpose.<br /><br />Items like this may seem small, but when you slowly let items like this (and street side parking, etc)start to add up you have intersections that look like Shimer and S. Transit instead of Main and Market. With all the emphasis on signage it seems strange to still be allowing these.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-68512771205104324992009-07-31T09:42:50.966-04:002009-07-31T09:42:50.966-04:00With the sort of lot that Aarons has, I'd almo...With the sort of lot that Aarons has, I'd almost say that a low sign like the Walgreens one pictured is going to have MORE visibility. It's not an area that you are going to have parked cars obscuring a low sign (as you would at Friendly's). And as it's not a highway speed area, I really do not see the need for the elevation. Heck, they are getting quite a bit of business as is without a pole sign as is.Black Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077195928770835814noreply@blogger.com
