Montrose Cross-Walk To Be Repainted As Trump Admin Orders No Messages On Roadways

Just paint a cross and call it a cross-walk. That'll make the hypoChristians shut up.

 

Just a funny side note about the wonderful town I live in.

So, during COVID my city, Albany, decided to do two crosswalks on Lark Street which is a smaller version of Westheimer "The Artsy, Bohemian"
section of town. But where all the college kids go for bar hoping in the evenings.
So, on one end they put Black Lives Matter on the opposite end the put the pride rainbow. Funny thing is they used the wrong type of paint and it did not adhere to the cobblestone roads, so it had to all be repainted 2 months later in July. No biggie. Here is the best part. Whoever decided to do this project must have forgotten that it is one of the main streets in town, so it gets the most attention from the snowplows (for you tried and true Texans, snowplows kill pavement and Moreso cobblestones) during our seemingly 6-month winters around here. So basically, when the final melt came along there was nothing left on the cobblestones. I'm more curious what these geniuses from the local DOT will do next to revitalize this project more than any messaging that will be gone come next year's thaw.

The DPW folks in my town working are like watching a monkey fuucking a football.

 

As long as its not public funds. . . I'm like do what ya like.
Honestly If it is public funds. . . . I would not be 100% against
just feel like something are just more of a priority

My biggest problem with this event it
that as a state we pay more money to tear down and undo things for people and the community
than to build up or support the community

IMO the largest example is how they seem to not have money for schools
but no limit of money for Prisons

[KHOU] Pride colors reemerge in Montrose hours after Houston removes rainbow crosswalks

I guessed this was going to happen.

 

Another thing we do to recognize communities in H-Town are done with the street signs. There are street signs in Vietnamese in Vietnamese Town. Is that too ideological? That's to say nothing of what we decide to name the streets -- like naming a road through a black community Dowling after a Confederate figure just to piss off the black community, and then renaming it later Emancipation to please the black community. Too political? These are roadways we're messing with, after all.

 

Cost some body 5 buckets of pain and brush
cost the city/government like 10000 to cover it up

They might be able to power-wash it off. When the professionals paint a crosswalk, they do it so it can take a beating. When vandals graffiti-tag something, not so much.

don’t wokes have graffiti? That’s enough art on private and public property

 

Paint is cheap. I don't see this stopping, nor should it

 

Your version of cheap is different than mine.
I paid 52 dollars for a gallon of interior latex eggshell two weekends ago for my wainscoting in my kitchen.
That **** better outlast me.

 

In a neighborhood known for its identity and advocacy, a North Texas church is taking a colorful stand against a state directive.

On Tuesday, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church began painting its front steps in rainbow colors, a response to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent order requiring cities to remove rainbow crosswalks from public streets.

I suspect they will get their tax exemption revoked.

can you have rainbow side walks in Gaza ?

 

Interesting that the Dallas crosswalk was privately funded, as some here have said they would have preferred. Probably when you give money for a project like that, you take the regulatory risk that it will be reversed later and your gift will be for naught. But, I think it puts a little more onus on the local government to put up a fight on their benefactors' behalf. Or maybe compensate with some other, comparable improvement.

 

Latex? If the wainscoting is not new and primed you will be lucky if you get a few weeks without it scratching.....

 

You have to use GOOD latex. I know a salesman who works for a very reputable company.

Time to call the national guard...
