Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Quality signage issues

High Maintenance Bitch's prominent sign
Gilbert W. Arias /Seattle Post-Intelligencer. High Maintenance Bitch's prominent sign has drawn some complaints. "Wallingford is not like that," one person says.

Signs matter. So does quality. What's your verdict on this one? I think it's in poor taste. But then, I don't like graffiti either.

See "High-end dog shop's sign raises neighbors' hackles," from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
