Greetings all!
...Just a question. Does anyone know if Waukegan has any ordanance dictating "signage" in business storefront windows?
Please correct me if you feel differently, but it seems that Waukegan has become a city filled with storefronts advertising goods & services in "handwritten," less than professional signs. I think it's safe to say these signs tend to be in Spanish. My opinion, but they look like doodoo.
I mean, what's the deal with the grande "TACOS" tarp that covers the entrance of the Chapala restaurant on Grand Avenue (where Chuck-E-Cheese used to be)?
Drive east down Washington...almost each & every storefront has a million little crappy-looking signs in the window advertising "regalos, tacos, flores, sopa, etc."
Check out the "new" Mexican restuarant on Genesee Street. They've got all of these handwritten, sloppy signs in the windows...it looks simply terrible! We have such lovely little stores down there...The BRICK, Balderdash, The Genesee, Pierce Florist etc. who all strive to have their storefront looking exceptional...then we allow this to move in and crap up the street? I'm sorry, but it really gets me upset! Waukegan deserves better.
Seriously, how do I find out if there is some sort of ordanance about signage?
