<DIV id=yiv894448423>Excellent question, Todd. Thanks for asking! They are certainly an eyesore. Tangentially, some of the handwritten signs for "yard sales" make me think that yard sales have become a sideline business rather than a way to occasionally clear out the attic/garage junk - does the town require permits for yard sales as I know Hyattsville does?<BR><BR>

<DIV>I know Riverdale Park is pretty strict about door-to-door sales, but do we have sign ordinances too? I saw this article in the Gazette about Cheverly's efforts:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.gazette.net/article/20110716/NEWS/707169982/1010/cheverly-beefs-up-ordinance-to-catch-more-sign-posting-offenders&template=gazette" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.gazette.net/article/20110716/NEWS/707169982/1010/cheverly-beefs-up-ordinance-to-catch-more-sign-posting-offenders&template=gazette</A></DIV>
<DIV>and then saw those stupid signs advertising people who want to buy my junk cars for 300 bucks. I typically just pull them down when I see them, but get tired of seeing them clutter up the telephone poles and just generally making the community look trashy.</DIV>
