It's only absurd to you because you wanted to hang the sign. It may
well be that the tonwspeople didn't want to look at the sign. They have
a right to that, via the legislative process - a process that works so
well we're exporting it at gunpoint to the middle east.

Have you seen the area of town around Jay's hotel? Hanging a banner, ANY
banner would be improvement - cripes, it's nothing but store after store after
ugly store... Don't think farms, and corn, etc when thinking of Iowa City.

(Sorry Jay - the beautiful part is the airport)

No. I said that up top.

Then maybe it's too late for Iowa City residents. We're trying to
prevent that from happening where I live.

I don't say the rules are appropriate for that town (although the
residents, through their government proxies, think so). What I do say
is that if the town thinks it's an appropriate restriction, Jay is in
the minority with his opinion that it is "absurd".

I wonder how "store after store after ugly store" gets by with no signage.
