Thursday Briefing: Dorothy Singer Trial, Palm Coast Ironies, Inspired Mic at Europa, Lifeguard Challenge

May 17, 2018 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

a1a palm coast billboard
As ironic as it gets. This billboard recently went up on A1A in the Hammock and caught the attention of Dennis Clark, who heads the Scenic A1A Committee. ‘We appreciate that Palm Coast is named Tree City USA for the 13th year in a row, but there are a few ironies with this billboard,’ Clark wrote: This billboard is on our National Scenic Byway, A1A just south of Shady Lane – in the Hammock, not in Palm Coast, and facing in the opposite direction from Palm Coast. There are no trees shown on the billboard graphic. The graphic is reminiscent of south Florida with Flamingos and Hibiscus. Only one Flamingo was reported in this area according to E-Bird – [in September] 2004 at Matanzas Inlet as a presumed storm-driven vagrant. Palm Coast has very few billboards to block their trees, so they had to use ours. The fortunate thing is that the Gun Show graphics, that have been up for a year, were replaced by this one.’ The billboard, as it makes clear in its ‘paid for by Lamar’ signature, is a product of Lamar, which controls the billboard, and was not commissioned or approved by the city. Mayor Milissa Holland said she knew nothing about it until the chairman of the county commission informed her about it. (Debbie and Dennis Clark)

–Katharine Hepburn.
