A certain car repair shop on a street named after our first premier has a scrolling red sign. This is good as it’s in a highly visible spot and advertises the business. The trick to this though is that you have to change the sign from time to time. Do you think people will develop time travel? If so, what makes you think they’d want to go back to 5/30/09 to attend a school’s spring fling? Are your tire rebate deals still legit? Did someone lock the control box in a room and then quit in a blaze of glory? Please, either update the sign, or get rid of it. After all, as your sign says, “It’s not magic, it’s maintenance.” —I Saw The Sign

I love this marquee…….. the spelling mistakes make my day.
One time they posted the name of a company to pay their overdue bill or the account would be closed….LMAO.

OMFG that’s *awesome* Koda!
I love this sign too. I hope they never change it 🙂
we try to re-arrange sign letters, to make funny, rude stuff. just make believe, we don’t actually do it, this is one of my faves, so simple http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8yp4qzC…
OB, no doubt they lost the instructions. Pity someone can’t hack the sign to say “Hookers inside.”
there’s an auto shop on
Blanchard Crescent in bedford?
Uniacke was the first.

I have seen this sign as well and it makes me chuckle. I think the OP thinks that Joseph Howe was our first premier and even still, the car repair shop isn’t on Joseph Howe, but you can view the sign from it.
Haha!! That sign bugs me too. I thought about submitting a bitch about it, but figured I’d get slammed for bitching about something so insignificant. I certainly got shit all over for my “Shit the annoys me” rant.
Oh GAWD!! THAT was YOU??!! Dear Jebus, what the hell is wrong with you anyway?? (lol…I’m kidding, I’m kidding.)
oh… I didn’t realize we’re still a Colony and not a Province…
This PROVINCE’s first premier is Hiram Blanchard.
and I wasn’t sure if they were referring to the same sign I was thinking of or not.

That’s the place.
Province, colony, potato, potato… OP didn’t say province anyway. Keep your hair on.
I bet they can get DeLorean parts.

OK, I was wrong, Joe Howe was Canada’s first separatist, not the first permier. The sign still pisses me off though. If they can’t figure out the sign compy, they sure as hell ain’t putting diagnostic computers anywhere near my car.
i know the place you mean o.p., the one on joe howe dr. that sign has probly generated more business, than if it was changed to the right date, etc.
they call shit like that, gimmiks, and they seem to work. a number of years back, a store ran an ad with an electric stove, that had a full function, didgetal cock, yep, i said cock., they sold that model out in less than 4 hours. then how about the car ad in the horrid paper, that was upside down, and backward. yep, gimmiks all.
for those of you who want to express your true feelings about shit, try this site.
