people go to all the trouble to have a nice house, landmark districts to prevent ugly stuff, and look down on fedders…..then you walk down a block and they have those ugly no menu signs….Looks pretty tacky.
Good exercise for you to bend down and pick up everyday.
The signs work in Crown Heights North, too. We (Crown Heights North Association) had some nice, tasteful ones printed on heavy plastic covered paper, and they’ve held up well, and are small enough to not look tacky. Lots of local civic organizations have done this.
I think more people can read that you think, rob. Besides which, there are laws on the books prohibiting dumping circulars, menus, etc, to those who have clearly opted out, via signs. Fines are involved, too, so the companies/restaurants, who can obviously be traced, have a vested interest in teaching their distributors to pay attention to the signs.
The no-menus-no-flyers signs work where I live in Bed Stuy.
