I am betting if Pepsi had bought that dump and brought in their litigation army, that fricking notary would be biblical shite.

frickin' right, frick yeah!

Maybe put a Micheal Sam Statue up there, he has far more cultural significance on Baton Rouge than Coca Cola.

Does anyone take exception with the fact that Delgados only connection to downtown is that he owns a private business there? He is a Councilman for the Southdown's area. Yet he is going to propose legislation, in effect use his position as a city official, to attempt to resolve this matter in a way he sees fit. Screw the legal system and any chance for the parties to reach an agreement.

Because I see this as a huge issue. Delgado needs to go.


Yes. Delgado is an uberdouche. He blasted papa johns pizza on his Facebook last week because they wouldn't take his check.....

Capitalism, free speech, free expression, the powers these afford one can cut both ways.

Five pages and this much controversy over a sign?

Wow, we really have our priorities straight, don't we?

They care. It's significant, a cultural landmark.

It's a sign. It's a company based in Atlanta, GA. It's not like it's a community coffee sign. My goodness people.

It's a shame that the new owner of the old richoux's building decided to unplug and cover the repaired coca cola sign on the buildings " grand opening" simply to squeeze some money out of coke.
No, it's good bidness.

Most of these people deal almost exclusively in memes.

Delgado will eventually become the mayor/president of EBR. The parish deserves an a-hole leader such as him.

I haven't been keeping up with all this and don't know the new owners. But from what I've been reading, it looks like the new owner of the building wants Coke to pay him today's market rates for advertising since the sign is attached to his building. He doesn't have to OWN the sign. It's just like a LAMAR billboard. The land owner doesn't OWN the billboard - but, does receive compensation from LAMAR for the billboard being placed on his property. I really think the new owner is 100% within his rights to do so. I'm not defending one side or the other. The way I see it, Coke should step up and pay a monthly rate to advertise from a sign ATTACHED to his property. OR, the Arts Council should just move the sign (as the sign's owner) to another location.

Technically, if this guy doesn't own the sign, he could legally build some sort of fence surrounding it and they couldn't say shite cause he built it on his property. Then he wouldn't be touching or defacing it, but still effectively hiding it from public display.



I doubt the city would give him the permits for that.

Wouldn't he be grandfathered in?
