1. You haven't spent 40 years in an industry that requires a honed sense of observation of things that are only minutely different, haven't become very good at that sense of observation and therefore don't really notice things like this.

2. You live in an area that is predominately black lettering on white backgrounds and are going too fast past the green signs, to be able to discern their actual condition.

3. You haven't seen an optometrist in a while and your glasses are a little too weak (think the little old lady in My Cousin Vinnie).

4. You are loathe to criticize anything having to do with anything, regarding The Villages.


Thanks. :waving:
None of the above, even though The Villages is not perfect,
I see way too many things all around that are maintained
in a first rate manner.
I have bought vinyl material meant for exterior use and I do
question your assumption that weathering failure
is a sign of buying cheap.
Florida weather provides a pretty extreme environment for any sign material.
Plus adhesives used could vary in quality.
Maybe after 40 years a habit of looking for fault could be at work.
