Going out of business signs nailed into the trees…?
So here’s one for you. The area around Lloyd Center is currently peppered with signs for the going out of business sale at Whitehall Jewelers. If you walk up Multnomah, there are 4-6 on every block, on little wood stakes in front of the trees. Ugly, probably against the sign ordinance, but no one seems to care. Then I looked more closely. Almost very one of them is also nailed to the tree. Now every tree has a potential point of weakness, an entry for disease.
Grrr…
I got this in email just an hour or so ago from an alert FoodDude – I’ve also seen the signs, but didn’t stop to notice that they’re nailed to the trees themselves. Surely someone ought to look into this and yank them down (or carefully extract them from the trees)…? Can someone get fined for this, one hopes…?
a. we can all do something about it – take it down and throw it away.

i agree, it makes me sick to see. i hate the weekend guys who stand on corners waving the sale signs.
