Signage is perhaps the most effective medium of advertising. Pendleton city management has come to a standstill in efforts to fill empty storefronts on Main Street, yet now are attempting to enact a more restrictive sign ordinance to appease a very small so-called historical preservation contingent that claim their approach will attract more tourists to Main Street.

It gives the impression that our leadership at city hall has taken up using those substances that they’ve banned the sale of in the downtown area.
