There’s a very nice, reasonably priced women’s clothing store in Montrose called, appropriately, the Clothing Market. I have shopped there regularly since it opened a little over a year ago.
I went again on Christmas Eve to take advantage of its 20% off sale, and thought briefly, “Oh my gosh! It’s gone!” It took me a little while to realize that the store wasn’t gone, only its bright banner with the store name was gone.
I talked with the store owner and found that the city had made him take it down. If he wanted a sign, he would have to pay the city a fee for the right to put up the sign (“Council ends ban on signs,” Dec. 6).
