SIGNS OF THE TIMES

 SECURITY issues are always good to think about, so VSHOA has added a few signs that may help.

The new "Private" (photo at right) sign at the entrance seems to be at least partially effective at discouraging motorists and strollers from coming onto VSHOA property by mistake. We have all seen some immediate turnarounds.

Other folks are put on notice that their presence is not welcomed. While nobody can say exactly how effective the sign has been over the last few weeks, our best hunch is that it is working well.

Below left is a photo of the new no-trespassing sign set up on the east side of the wall on Dixie Highway. It is between the wall and Unit No. 1.

The sign is meant primarily to discourage people who might come over from the bus stop. Sometimes, we've noticed, people waiting for the bus seem to find it a long, boring process and they start looking
around for something to do. We mean to dissuade them from doing it on our property.

Let's hope this works.





In the photo below right, you see the flagpole at the east end of View Street. Near the base is the "No swimming" sign that was installed several months ago.

The sign was mandated by our liability insurance carrier. Seems to be a good idea. The sign is small and unobtrusive and the signpost fits right into the threads used to support the Christmas Tree every year.

In the photo of Old Glory, below, you'll also see the new solar-powered light installed to keep the flag illuminated all night and every night.

The light also provides us with a chance to experiment with solar lighting while contemplating the replacement of our street lights.


And if you had perfect vision, you might even notice
that our island in the background has been trimmed of
some unruly vegetation.

Looking good!
