here's the local poop. bob foor used to be a bigtime car dealer in bedford. he retired several years ago and reuped with god. this building is on the corner of pitt and richard sts. in downtown bedford. the sign is on the back of the building facing a 4lane bypass across a river. the building was build in the 1920-30s as a showroom for cars. there used to be a large Ford sign on building in a more conspicuous place.in the photo richard st. is left of bob and the river and 4lane is behind the photographer. richard st is also business rt 220.

besides the flashing part, the other ordaninces have to do with size of the sign and the building is in a historic district. how that affects a building with no historic value i'm not sure.

Interesting. So the issue really is content, a large red neon sign actually being of some historic note!

Wonder who was offended? What you wanta' bet it was the ACLU local rep.
