Zapaterias on Maple

Three shoe repair businesses with hand painted signs on Maple Avenue.

As evidenced by the proliferation of LED video display billboards, we haven't the most committed sign control in Los Angeles.

I've often joked about seeking public office on a platform solely concerned with aesthetics. Obviously, that would mean support for historic districts and design review boards, tree planting, and mansionization ordinances. I'd also police sign clutter.

Most municipalities have sign ordinances (some govern how much display glass can be covered, for example), but seldom are they applied.

"Bootleg" signs appear everywhere, fastened to chainlink, stapled to poles, promoting musical acts, offering services.

Those bootleg signs I got an issue with, these boot signs I kinda like.
