Plain City is a bit strict about signs. The sign code is meant to protect our little village from looking like Las Vegas (not that that will happen any time soon). 

But there is something the village officials need to take into consideration: Signs help businesses.

The best example I can think of is the sign Jim Moore has posted in front of the diner proclaiming that the restaurant is now open Sundays from 8 am to 1 pm. Because of that little sign, Joe and I have eaten breakfast at Jim’s Diner several Sundays over the past months. We would not have known about the Sunday hours without that sign.

In case you didn’t see the sign, eat at Jim’s this Sunday.
