I loved many of the points made in this letter to the editor in today’s paper.
One of Mr. Webster’s points deals with power lines in Florence. They ARE SO UGLY! And they are EVERYWHERE! Every time I try to take a picture of the local scenery? Totally messed up with powerlines. I know businesses have to use photoshop to get them out. Mr. Webster also hits on needing a sign ordinance, with which I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes I think Florence is so worried that if they push a business, the business will leave. I just don’t think that would happen. Best Buy, Target, et al…. they are not leaving. They don’t COME until they have done umpteen marketing studies and location tests. If they have to change a sign? Eh. They change the sign.
I especially love this phrase in the letter, “help establish Florence as a leader in progressive municipal planning in this state.”
Nicely put!
Thanks for the letter, it was well written and thought provoking.
