ann arbor is overrated.

A2 resident Robert L. Baird has seen a few too many Funktelligence and Full signs plastered around downtown. He writes, “Just look at the new, beautiful street lights that have been installed on Liberty and State Street. Already, they have been disfigured with these signs.” He suggests aggressive ticketing as a way to keep Ann Arbor beautiful.

But that’s nothing. We hear that some of these signs actually refer to loud “rock music” performances at the city’s less reputable establishments. The unsightliness of these “trashy signs,” as Baird refers to them, is just the beginning - they are an inducement to noise pollution.

Why can’t these “rock bands” get out the word about their “shows” via a tasteful newsletter to their paid members, like the Ark?
