Disturbing plans for South Mountain archived

In a year filled with ridiculous nonsense (condos in the park? buying the country club? what?!), the latest idea coming out of Maplewood may actually win the prize. This has to be the single stupidest thing I have ever heard, and the most disturbing.

How in the world can these people even be considering this development? Signs on the mountain? Any "great publicity" you think you might get will be outweighed by the simple fact that this would ruin EVERYBODYS view, acoss the whole town. How can that possibly be worth it? We just don't need that kind of advertising. Any story about sponsorship money for this cannot possibly justify desecration of the natural beauty of Maplewood. Can't these planners close the budget gap in a way that's just a little more sensible?

Come on. What are these people thinking?!

Help us Save The Mountain! We started http://www.savesouthmountain.info to try to organize and spread the word.

I'm confused. Isn't that in South Orange?

I'm not trying to bust your chops - but either you (or your website) should probably make some mention of what (specifically) you're talking about.

South Mountain is the name of the mountain on the west side of our two towns.

And the town is making plans to allow giant commercial advertising on the Mountain!

Isn't it the county that's doing it?

I know what south mountain is, I don't know what commercial advertising you're talking about.

So if its county doing this and the area is actually in South Orange why is this in Maplewood Specific and how does Maplewood benefit from it?

Save,
Do you have any links from newspaper stories, county or municipal web sites or statements from governmental officials to back up your assertion?

No portion of the reservation is in South Orange.

Is there any link that can tell us what your talking about? Your website isn't helpful. So far, none of us have any idea what you're talking about.

Their forum offers some clarity.

project37 - I had looked at their forum. It doesn't say anything specific. It's "what if." So far, I haven't seen anything specific proposed by the county. I think many of us would be concerned if we had more information.

Sorry, cramer, I should have added a ":wink:" because the first thread over there makes the very same point. So far, it seems to be much ado about nothing.

Right. There's really nothing there.

I assume you are being sardonic.

[update p..s - never mind]

I hear they are also going to sell residents to space aliens for them to use for food.

Any signs that are put up there could fall down. It gets very windy up there sometimes!

That's from section 104.11.6.A of Obama's health care takeover bill - it's not a county issue.

he even bothered to register a website for it.

very impressive! that's dedication!

are they considering a sign like the famous "HOLLYWOOD" sign? Maplewood could use the extra attention...and sharpshooters can sit on the crossbar of the H during the deer culling season!

Wait. Why would they put a "Hollywood" sign in Maplewood? Wouldn't a "Maplewood" sign make more sense?

Hank, there is no H in Maplewood, just sayin' :wink:
