California dreamin'

Yesterday morning I noticed a couple of small plastic STUCCO advertising-signs nailed to the hydro utility pole in front of my house and — sure enough — two more on a pole up the street. I've been waging war on these signs for a good number of years! So I surveyed the immediate neighborhood (some six streets) and found two more pairs, on Lippincott St. W. and Edmund Ave. In the afternoon — wearing my high-visibility safety vest, a hammer under my belt and a small ladder on my shoulder — I took them all down.

In my survey I discovered a "medical marijuana" dispensary on the northwest corner of Weston Rd. and Lippincott St. W. (The only time I might find myself at this intersection is for the across-the-street Dairy Queen, which is closed in the winter.)

This is the first such business (of which I am aware) in Weston, albeit the south end thereof. Apparently, it is a concern.
