Just curious, anybody living in the 75077 area code in Lewisville and Highland Village, do you look at the new signs the city has placed near intersections that show nearby businesses? I hardly have time to look at them while I am driving by but they are very noticable. They could almost be a safety hazard if people try to read them while driving by. They have almost been up for a year and only about one third of the availabe space has been used up. I have been thinking about advertising my real estate business, an agent at RE/MAX Advantage, on them but I am not sure if it would be worth it or not. I guess it would have to be a short but sweet message so you could actually read it quickly (I dont want to create an accident!). Thank you and I hope you have a great day today! 06/10/2008
