If the businesses improve as a result then fine.. but the sign itself still looks tacky. 2buhbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292455125222207931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-54728539579942763202013-01-30T14:24:00.774-06:002013-01-30T14:24:00.774-06:00RadioCure..

You're making it a "race thing" by calling a cultural difference a "race thing".<br /><br />This is not the first culturally and/or racially ignorant thing I've seen you say here, SuperHero.

I just wish they had chosen a better font. I really don't like how there is no dot on the "i" in Asia, making it look identical to the "l" in Argyle. Also, I don't like how the "g" and "y" don't even fit on the sign. uptownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209617485008753475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-69609512344437660052013-01-29T08:42:02.682-06:002013-01-29T08:42:02.682-06:00Embarrassingly bad.

We'll have to see what other details emerge. I'm really hoping that the neon will weather/get dirty enough as to not be quite as jarring to the senses.Koocachoo72https://www.blogger.com/profile/10456630805371596393noreply@blogger.com
