An reader sent us this photo with a note:  “Last year, we pulled down about 80 of these signs that some lowlife kept nailing to telephone poles between Highway 92 & Main in Half Moon bay and Linda Mar in Pacifica.  It took about six months before he finally gave up and stopped replacing them, but it was worth it.  This stuff is the visual equivalent of spam and it’s a particular nuisance in small communities like the Coastside. Here’s a tip: No matter how heavily these signs are nailed to the telephone pole, you can knock them down with a single solid whack with a broomstick or bat. It’s a lot more work to put these signs up than it is to take them down.”

Thank goodness. Now if someone can do something about the Greenhouse signs all over Montara. Spam is exactly what it is, in fact these are like pop-ups because they get in your face and you have to navigate your way around them.
