Two Word Protest

A new commercial building is going up in what once was about an acre-sized field near Lewes. It is behind, and I assume will replace, an older single-family house that has been turned into a real estate office.

Today I noticed a new protest by the folks who live in the next field over. They've posted their feelings about the new office building rather, well, prominently.

I'm not certain how long this protest has been in place. I only pass this property at the right angle to see this face of this fence once a week. At best.

I hope this doesn't go the way that that incident with the painted spite fence went up in Red Lion back at the end of 2003 and the start of 2004. A property-line dispute there led to a fence being built, being painted a fluorescent green and orange, and eventually hung with a variety of underwear.

We don't need that.
