VIDEO: Joe Edwards asks for variance

By Antonio D. French

Filed Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at 4:02 PM

This video was shot less than 15 minutes ago. In it, Joe Edwards, the owner of such cool businesses as Blueberry Hill and The Pageant, asks the City's Board of Adjustment to grant a variance to allow a flashy neon sign for his planned new bowling alley, The Flamingo, on Washington Ave.



UPDATE: According to Steve Patterson, Edwards got his variance.

You are fast, getting video up before the meeting is even done!

Frankly I think we need a few more flashy signs in the city. Not some cheap strobe light bought from Sam's but high quality signs such as this.

As people leave the convention center they need some "signs" of life on Washington Ave --- the lack of on-street parking until 11th gives the wrong impression. Lacking on-street parking between 9th & 11th we need signs to literally draw visitors down the street.

Don't block after block of orange cones count as signs of life?

They approved his appeal. Maybe we won't notice the blocks of orange cones once the sign goes up.

Hmmm...

Quite the hypocrisy Steve...

Some variances are good, but others are not???

Where do we draw the line, and who is the judge and jury?
