"A great place to visit, greater place to live, the greatest place to shop!" The sign includes space for advertisements and has been restored "to better than its former glory", according to the Daily Journal today.
Can you believe that the property owner upped the rent of this sign in the mid-90s from $1 a year to $28,000 a year. This sounds like sheer greed to me and not surprising the City declined to pay. I have often wondered why the sign had been allowed to blight the Highway for so long and now we know! Even The Burlingame Voice readers had an opinion!

Talking about going from the ridiculous to the sublime, has anyone noticed the very attractive mini Broadway arch across a small side street off Broadway, near el Camino. It is very tasteful.
