I think many of them are probably amateur satirists too.

Question: What kind of fricktard bitches about needing money to maintain property he neither owns nor maintains, and at the same time, bitches that someone else is maintaining that property without first getting his permission to do so?

Answer: Look in the fricking mirror.

From reading this thread, it kinda reminds of these landmarks in NOLA that were turned into apartments

How is the article not serious? There's no satire to it. They absolutely despise the building owner for what he's doing.

Perhaps people who are upset should buy the building and sign themselves then?

It happens. I'm not saying they can't desire the coke sign, I'm saying the sign's cultural significance has been wildly exaggerated. Maintaining architectural standards is one thing, treasuring a sign is another.

I think that I heard that elsewhere in downtown some people bought a building a wanted to paint it.

Because it had some sort of historical significance they had to go through some hoops. Bottom line, they couldn't paint their own building because it had this huge "Antiques" painted across the front, which was 'historical.'

They had to put up some metal contraption to try to hide it. Might not be the story but that's what I heard.

People gonna regulate other people stuff if they can.

The arts council owns it. They already have plans of taking the sign down and putting it somewhere else.

You realize that RS doesn't always post satire right?

Sometimes they just post stuff like this condemning shite in BR

The story I read said that the "Arts Council" claims ownership but the Act of Donation was in dispute.

Maybe I read the wrong article?

Again, architectural and period mandates for historical preservation are common. They usually trace to the formation of the town at its epicenter.

I'm guessing that few cities have branded 50 year old corporate signs as Cultural landmarks. For Christ sake, lost in all of this is that it's sitting stop a fricking dumpy arse building leased to a fast food place.

Arts council. Not the city council. You are correct.

Bottom line is it's not owned by the building owner.

Dude, it is satirically written. It might not be satire in his mind, but it is most certainly, definitely, satirically written.

And if it is true, he's lost what a landmark is. Or he's 20.
