I have to disagree with you on the neon. I think neon signs were a big part of retail districts in the 40′s and 50′s. Just look at the Georgetown Theater sign. That was built in the 50′s and I doubt many would object to its restoration. I think a lot of the cheap excuses for neon signs that have been added since the 80′s are bad, but I see no problem with traditional neon signs.

I agree with Jack Evans’ comments about the neon signs….. my understanding is that the only legal one in Georgetown is the one in Martin’s Tavern, which was “grandfathered” in when the regulation was passed. It has its own style and is part of Georetown history, but the rest just need to go…. it’s unfortunate how difficult it seems to be to get simple regulations enforced.

Thanks for a wonderful report on last night’s meeting. I can always count on Georgetown Metropolitan to give me the lowdown on GEORGETOWN news.
