WHOA!!! maybe they were right....

Last week or so, the town of Sandpoint
and the people who deal with Sandpoint,
were up in arms about drive thru businesses.
And also in the mix, yet not really talked
about that much, was the color of the buildings.
There was talk about who was going to decide
which colors were considered politically correct
for the town.

Well, this mornings Bonner County Daily Bee,
sure has alot of us say, WHOA...maybe the
council did have it at least half right.

I would show you, but their site doesn't have
the picture up yet, if in fact they will. But I am
here to tell you the "Wasabi green and edamame"
(Japanese soy bean)vertical strips are in the
"Gawd Awful" description.

They say that the older citizens will not like it, but
the youth will... well, I guess that is right, as I am
in the first classification. And this is definitely a
"in the eye of the beholder" situation. Although
David Keyes, the publisher of the Daily Bee, was
not thrilled with it either. You can read his column
on it.

And this is for a restaurant. Sushi, in fact. Well, I
am not a sushi fan, but even if one was, you got
to wonder how the color affects your appetite.
Picture neon lime green and light avocado. About half
a block of it.


Once again...Sandpoint is bound to be in the
news again and surely will be the talk of the town.
This is the only Wasabi Green item I could find... couldn't
find the edamame color... remember vertical stripes.
Hopefully the Bee has the picture up after 9am. Because
this is definitely a pictures says a thousand words deal.

Oh, man, we went through this when we lived in Simi Valley though there everything had to be dull and boring earth tones!
