Brickbat: Bring Your Camera

Worldnow

For many years, barns across the South sported ads for Rock City, a tourist attraction near Chattanooga. When Ben Morris bought an old barn near Cumming, Georgia, he was delighted to find a faded sign reading "See Rock City." So he slapped another layer of paint on it to bring out the letters and preserve a bit of history. Now, he's being threatened with fines for violating Forsyth County's 10-year-old ban on roof-top signs.

He should have bought his barn's roof, too. That's an oversight on his part.

[some guy]

I'm sure he didn't really buy the barn, either.

[LTC(ret) John]

That barn, you didn't buy that.

"I mean, at this point, what are you even storing in a barn?"

[Zombie Jimbo]

Only kulaks store things in barns, comrade.

[SugarFree]

There is but one barn. The Barn of the People.

Hope he wins that one. Because he's going to need the money when Detroit sues his ass.

Wow, WomSom, you really leave no stone unturned.

Even the spambot's like early morning puns.

[Cheradenine Zakalwe]

Let he who is without sin make fun to the spambot first.

[Doctor Whom]

The spambot makes more sense than Tony.

Breast reduction surgery makes more sense than Tony.

"As a county commissioner we are set by rules and procedures."

This is why county commission chairmen pull down the big bucks.

Eh. I am running buddies with one of mine and have been out drinking several times with another. Just like how I am friends with the couple who form 2 of the 5 votes on our stupid HOA. I can play the 'who you know' game, too. Though, SLD, I would prefer to live in a world where I didn't have to.

in the process of restoring the historic buildings, a handyman discovered faded letters beneath dirt and rust on the roof

Ah, HA! Fine the HANDYMAN!

[Wind Rider]

Was he LICENSED? INSURED? Was there a PERMIT allowing him to even LOOK at the damned barn?

THIS will be the collapse of Western Civilization.

[dalewalt]

C'mon, does he really *need* a barn roof?

[Auric Demonocles]

Certainly not with multiple coats of paint.

Those barns are classic. My family had one that was burned down about ten years ago that was part of the original series or so. My grandmother commissioned a painting of it, so I actually have a "See Rock City" barn on my wall at home.

[Wind Rider]

So, then, you readily admit 'you didn't build that'. I see.
