Fraser, no, although I’m a dancer, I didn’t work there. I went there once with friends in the early 1980s– after night of dancing and screwdrivers at Ninos (on 1st). I was actually shocked at how not-hot the dancers were.

Nope. Not interested. The company had its chance. They blew it. For me its just another high bid company. Lots of other great companies who are not rude and dismissive at a project that was several hundred dollars. In this economy you can take the money and put it where the sun does not shine. I took my business elsewhere.

It seems to me after reading all these comments, that really your criteria means your personal opinion and designs you personally approve of…that seems fair!
It also occurs that the old Kinney sign restoration was turned down by the SCAAB board, so why muddy the waters with that. How does one write an article for the Citizen without properly researching the pertinent information and once proven wrong on several fronts begin the attack on signs and sign companies…or even business owners trying to get by in an awful economy. Let me guess, your opinion is also that the economy is turning around? My criteria actually “understand” what you’re talking about, before you publicly write about it!

there is a giant 3-4 level building right behind that sign that already blocks your precious mountain view. should we tear that down as well so we can all enjoy the beautiful mountain views?!

MORE BUSINESS! If changing the sign code brings in more business then it needs to be changed. Screw all the NIMBYs who dont care that our city is one of the most unfriendly business cities in america and then wonder why we cant pay for police and fire!!! you want all these government funded programs here than you need more business!

It is amazing to me how quickly some want to turn this into an attack against a legitimate and well established business that provides jobs to people in this community Oh, but they are jobs for people who make signs so they must be “evil”. Give me a break just stick to the issue at hand and Fraser007 if you would like to call me to discuss your issues with Fluoresco please feel free to do so anytime.

“Neighborhoods,” that is. Typos!
