Variances for neon signs approved

Bugs Bunny said it best me thinks

Rick Sirvint

“Diners exist without signs,” Sirvint said. He strongly objected to the use of neon. “What does neon represent? For a lot of people, it’s low-class, commercial and gaudy. This does change the character of the town. I moved to Rindge to get away from neon. I have no problem with the diner, my concern is the neon,” said Sirvint.

Anne Halliday

“Neon for many people is a dirty word, representing the Vegas strip or something similar. That’s not what we’re doing here,” she said.

Gordon Ripley

Resident Gordon Ripley noted he felt the neon fit the business. “I see the word ‘diner’ in neon,” he told the board. “I think it’s going to be beautiful.” He added that he would hate to see a different sign have to go up at the diner.

Marcia Breckenridge

ZBA member Marcia Breckenridge disagreed with Sirvint’s assessment, saying that the purpose of the gateway district is to maintain a unique charm of the area, which the diner does. “To me, part and parcel with the diner is the diner sign,” she said. “The two are inextricably linked historically.”

And some wonder why their cities fail to flourish economically. Maybe because some municipals and committee's are not business "Friendly"? Who can look at this diner and then look at the sign that had traditionally signified diners and think "Low class?" What a Moron! The news you can run into amazes me sometimes. But this article is one of many that continually show that demand is coming back!

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. - Winston Churchill

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
