Default Marion County is loud & proud

Was it necessary to erect the huge Welcome to Marion County sign on Buena Vista? A true eyesore prior to entering the Piedmont/ Springdale Roundabout… Resembles something on the I 75 ..

you’re tax dollar not at work. Marion county has the highest taxes in three county area. Plus they don’t maintain village roads.

I saw it today and thought it was quite attractive. Fit the decor of the roundabout signs quite nicely.

When I saw the sign I thought, “How nice. Now I know where Marion County, where I live, starts.” It’s a standard street sign.
