I know Delgado certainly doesn't have controlling share. Of the three owners, 1 has 51% and I believe the other two share the rest evenly.

I've had a good time the few times I've made it to Hueys though I don't go very often.

Also, if this individual acknowledged that he wouldn't own the sign when he purchased the property and even used that to get the building for $15k less, would that be sufficient in court to affect the ownership of the sign?

I'm sure it's been addressed in the 10 pages, but I'll ask the question anyway. If he doesn't own it, then why does he have to pay for its upkeep?

I agree that free advertising isn't something one should expect, but if they really dropped the price of the building 15,000 because they made an agreement that the sign was not part of the sale, the building owner has no right to cover it IMO.

From what I understand, he doesn't. I mean Coke came in and did 20k in reno's a few months ago so they are obviously doing upkeep and I think in the article it said something about someone else paying for electrical.

I am absolutely anti-lawsuit but there are certain things, property disputes for example, that are tailor made to be argued and decided in a court of law. This seems to fit the bill.

What I truly don't understand is why a certain councilman, of whom we have spoken often in this thread (who himself happens to be an officer of the court), thought it wise to jump in and declare that he was going to take statutory action to resolve this dispute. That ticked me off.

As far as the sign and who owns what, they can either reach a mutually acceptable business arrangement or go to court and let a Judge decide.

The article says something about the building owner being responsible for property and liability insurance.

That's because the gentlemen you're referring to, John Delgado is the biggest attention whore in the world. And he works tirelessly to make sure that everyone who hears his name know damn well he's a shithead.

American, southern and the most recognized trademark in the world. BR is home to one of the largest CC manufacturing facilities in the US (highlighted in an epdisode of "How It's Made". Coca-Cola has been in business for over 100 years and continues to employee hundreds of thousands of people thus supporting local, state and national economy while offering "one of life's simple pleasures" - affordably. Enjoy


We(Baton Rougeons) also have helped preserve Esso Signs and Keans signs in the Downtown / Mid City area.
People getting crazy with legality and ownership are tossing common sense and got damned common courtesy out the the window. That sign is important to the 3rd Street area as it was one of few reminders of 3rds glory days, and it's recent refurbishing is a testament to our rebirth since the oil crash.

We are BR. And that sign needs to shine. frick that dude.

The guy who wrote the Red Shtick piece gave lots of fricks (and quite a few other choice words) with all the drama and butthurt angst of a jilted 14yr old.

he's the editor of RS too.

honestly, the whole thing is ridiculous. he waited to cover the sign up the day before the grand opening of raising canes because he felt like since the sign has been on his roof all these years, he owns it. what a delusional a-hole
