Glasgow Kentucky is not lacking for signs. Every major intersection in town is over flowing with the latest auction, garage sale and concert notice. I don't even bother reading the Glasgow Times I just drive down to Happy Valley and 31E and read the signs.
Coke seems to be winning the sign war. The ones they have in front of Long John Silvers are much more readable than the auction signs in front of The Marathon.
While Coke is winning Pepsi is most certainly losing. The signs they have in front of Walmart are just plain bad. Did you happen to see the one when Dale Earnhardt Jr's Chevy National Guard car was there? The sign read Pepsi big and bold but the Dale Earnhardt Jr July 31 looked like it was written in crayon. Coca Cola must laugh every time they think of it.
I, for one, am in favor of businesses and organizations getting their word out but I do think it is making Glasgow look a little trashy. Maybe Coke and Pepsi or the city could get together and build an electronic Public Service marquee in front of Fort Williams or American Legion Park. Then when someone has a worthy announcement they get put on the marquee and we get a lot less signs in Glasgow.
Just an idea.
