GARFIELD SQUARE, POTTSVILLE OCTOBER 2023

TOP TEN REASONS WE LOVE OUR ELECTRIC BILLBOARD ON GARFIELD SQUARE 
So its in violation of the city zoning code, we love it anyway:

1. It is a cheerful distraction from all the collapsing buildings on Market Street 
2. It is a cheerful distraction from those slow-moving pedestrians crossing the street. 
3. War memorials are so depressing without the commercials that light up. 
4. It puts the f-u-n back into the adjoining funeral home. Why don’t all funeral homes have electric billboards that the one in front of Schlitzer-Allen-Pugh? 
5. It brightens up those broken sidewalks. 
6. How else can one find who is selling pot pie or city chicken ? 
 7. Garfield Square is back in action! We had nothing to look at ever since the cartoon characters were exiled. 
8. It is the first step in turning the drab square into a mini-Times Square. Now all we need are the hookers. 
9. Its nearly 160 years since the Civil War ended, isn’t time to stop honoring those old
soldiers.
 10. It’s a cheerful distraction from the funny looking statue of a lady high atop a pedestal (or a statue which identifies as a lady)

A- statue of lady or a statue identifying as a lady holding a ring
