Old and new stand back-to-front during the final days of the old downtown signs with cut-out steel letters. The dual-pole “Charlottesville” signs were erected circa 1993, but they’re slated for scrap as City workers have already installed most of the replacement signs, a monopole design that’s part of the City’s new, half-million-dollar wayfinding program.

    City do love to spend money, my money since I pay county taxes and they give it to the city.

    Don’t worry, BB! The city residents are just as upset as you county people are. The city leaders, or at least those who might still be living, should be rounded up and hung in Court Square for choosing “revenue sharing” over annexation.

    The second dumbest thing they ever did was selling Lane High School to the county instead of converting it into City Hall.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
