The smiley face appears one day (March 26th). Sneer…maybe that is a better description.

Daily Smiley Face Gang

And it is gone the next.

One day later...

It only took 22 hours to catch a sniper. Why can’t we find this painter? This painter seems to be costing us a lot of cash.

I like how the city painting crew had to add the arch at the top to cover up where the eyebrow had been.

Speaking of signs, the city now wants to spend all my property taxes on new signs. Apparently people can’t find the downtown. So in the next four years C-Ville needs to spend ONE MILLION DOLLARS on signs. I think they should spend the money teaching people how to read. Perhaps if more money had been spent education the sniper would have been able to read that shooting at cars, people, and banks is illegal. Or maybe a sign indicating that you can’t shoot at cars.

If the city wants the most cost effective and creative solution, why can’t they just pay the smiley face gang minimum wage to put up a boat load of signs all around the area showing people how to get here? I bet that would run below 50k/year, and that would be a tremendous tourist attraction.
