Comments on: Framing Business Around A-Frames http://ariwriter.com/framing-business-around-frames/ Strategies and tips on social media and online marketing Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:20:22 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ellen http://ariwriter.com/framing-business-around-frames/comment-page-1/#comment-3914 Ellen Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:20:25 +0000 http://ariwriter.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/framing-business-around-a-frames/#comment-3914 I love when I go to a historic city or town and see people doing whatever they can to sell their wares and compliment the city. The down town area are so much more pleasing when you see things outside on the sidewalks to give an idea of what the store is selling, especially when they are arranged in such a pleasing way as Flukes and finds and Friends....As for the A frame signs. Keep them coming to advertise where the shops are and what they are. We need more positive words about the downtown to keep businesses here instead of all the crap that makes so many leave....Keep a better outlook on life and business, instead of trying to make a problem where there doesn't need to be one. Remember it took only ONE person to take prayer out of schools. I love when I go to a historic city or town and see people doing whatever they can to sell their wares and compliment the city.

Perhaps this is a good reason why councilors should be holding more routine ward meetings. The ward councilor hosts and the at-large councilors are invited.<br/><br/>@Luna: You raise good points.

It just doesn't happen that way.

But when applicants step forward with variance applications, the committee on licenses and permits is charged with recommending a course of action to the council as a whole. That's what happened last night with Licorice & Sloe and Port City Tours, both of which were denied A-frame signs. To be fair, the city council is not trying to ban signs from anyone.

I like all kinds of "clutter" on the downtown streets. It makes it more interesting to wander around.<br/><br/>Of course, we do have to keep a lane clear for folks in wheelchairs, etc., but we should be able to do that without simply banning them.
