TOO MANY SIGNS CLUTTER NEIGHBORHOODS

Everyone who posts signs for yard sales, lost animals, baby sitting, etc., in the summer should remember to take them down. Neighborhoods look trashy when scattered signs are posted on almost anything.

What really irks me are people who run a business and post homemade signs everywhere. I manage a business, and I'm sure to be fined if I post business signs wherever I feel like. Why do some people get free advertising for lawn care, windows, doors, etc.? Their signs aren't even professional looking.

Let's get with the program and remove neighborhood signs.
