Can’t blame them for it either. Some people are completely stupid and will post anything on the internet.

Fuck the TOC. If they are in fact on here then they can know that they are enforcing BS and I can’t afford to sacrifice what little signage I have. If they’re willing to make me suffer then I can make them suffer.

Oh BTW if you want to hang a ton of banners outside I have a few laying around for ya!

To play a little devil’s advocate here:

You really should pay attention to the ToC and their laws. If it’s in their “books” as a law, then shame on you for not paying attention. If it’s not, then bring that up to the ToC and get your signage and advertising back up. Your location sucks as far as visibility from the street goes. You really do need every bit of eye candy as possible.  
I can’t count how many times I couldn’t find your place when you first opened up. Once you got signs there, you were much easier to spot. If you have to take them down, it’d hurt business a ton.

To Z28: It’s only BS if there’s not a law against it. If you got a ticket for something as little as taking up two parking spots, you deserve it. They don’t give a fuck about you, only the greater good. You could have been an inconvenience to more than one person in order to be convenient to yourself.

To everyone: If you’re doing something wrong, be prepared to take the heat for it. I can’t stand when people bitch and complain when they were in the wrong in the first place. This isn’t directed towards anyone specifically, but I’ve heard enough of people on here and it’s rather annoying.
