Voices: Tacky




I know we are all supposed to be concerned about how our city looks. Now that summer is here, I’ve noticed week-old signs on almost every telephone pole and street corner advertising rummage sales. No one ever takes them down after their sales are over.

It looks very tacky and unattractive. Couldn’t the police or Joplin City Council put a notice in the paper or on TV that if they are not removed there will be a fine imposed on the people involved? That would be a small step to clean up Joplin.
