Picking up on Donaldson’s description, another voice of opposition rose from DHRC chairman Ashley Young-Turner, who said, “My concern is that it is cartoonish and is not adding to the aesthetic downtown, but rather, kind of, a parody of it. I think it’s silly looking and that is part of my concern with it. To be just perfectly frank, it’s a little phallic. I don’t, myself, care for it.” Morris shook her head in agreement. Fisher attempted to intervene at this point, and said he wanted to let the board know that they can look at color and lighting, adding a ‘but’ before looking for a way to approach design. At this point, Turner cut him off, saying “It completely stands out, though, sir, if you were to put this up.” “And it has no historical reference,” Morris chimed in. A survey conducted over three days with two questions asks if citizens find the signage appropriate for downtown and if they find the cactus offensive. Out of the 1,991 responses, 71.6 percent of those that voted said they found the signage appropriate, while 80.51 percent stated that it was not offensive. San Angelo LIVE!
