Thank you to those responsible for taking immmediate action.

Update: VFW Adamston Rd

Thank you for whoever was responsible for the fresh paint job on the storage trailer at the rear of the VFW on Admaston Rd.

Update: Princeton Ave

After reporting this area back in March, I found that in June these items were never addressed, therefore I took matters into my own hands. Less than five minutes, a can of brake cleaner and some paper towels, the graffiti was removed from both signs.

Update: Brake-O-Rama

As of June 5th, Brake-O-Rama has cleaned up the graffiti on the side of their building.
Thank you once again to the Brick Code Enforcement for following up on this matter.

A Traffic Hazard

One example of how these people block the motorist's view of oncoming traffic.

Keep America Beautiful

Here you have a company that in their April 18th, 2007 press release uses the words "Keep America Beautiful" and "... make an extra effort to be respectful of the environment..." but yet they have been littering our town as well as many others with their plastic signage. Where do they think these signs end up after blowing away? Perhaps our rivers, streams, woodlands or maybe even into moving traffic? How is that being respectful of the environment and keeping America beautiful? There are many reasons Brick Twp has an ordinance against the display of these types of signs. If companies like this continue to take a piece of real estate to advertise their businesses, then perhaps they should be sent a tax bill on top of the fine for ignoring the township's ordinance.
If they need this type of advertising, then they should pay for a billboard ad like so many "Professional" businesses do.

To all businesses who choose this method of advertising: Save your money!
Any illegal sign seen will be reported to the township for them to take action.
Stop littering our town as well as the rest of this state.

* Note: Already 2 out of 7 signs blown free in just 1 day. The red arrow is pointing to one that is laying in the driveway exit of the Getty Station.

Sign of the times...

Will this practice ever end ?
This week I tried to exit the Exxon Station on Brick Blvd only to have my view blocked of oncoming traffic by one of the people holding an 8 ft sign. When I mention he was blocking the view, he ignored me as if he didn't understand the English language. I have decided to no longer patronize that station if these people are there blocking the driveway. This is a major hazard to drivers and pedestrians should a gust of wind blow these signs away from the people holding them...

Update: Cooper Electric

I received a copy of this email from another township resident who knew who to contact at Cooper. This was their response:


Thank you for your recent communication. I assure you it has been our
intention to remedy this situation as rapidly as possible. The
vandalism in
question occurred recently in February. The only circumstance that has
delayed this project was the weather for this time of year. As a long
time
resident of the township myself, I agree with you that acts of
vandalism of
this nature are disgraceful. Feel free to contact me or our local
store
Manager if you have any further questions.

I look forward to removing their photos soon after the job is completed!

UPDATE: Mantoloking Rd

UPDATE: The 2 garage doors that were splattered with graffiti have now been cleaned and painted! To the owner, "Thank you for helping make a cleaner Brick!"

UPDATE: Beaverson Blvd

Update: 2 Storage trailers and a dumpster have been removed from the property.
Just that alone made a huge difference in the appearance of the property.

UPDATE: 393 Mantoloking Rd

I wish to thank the owner of 393, for their quick response in cleaning up their property. Already seeing an improvement in Brick from this BLOG has made it all worth it.

Primary Learning Center

Our kids at their early ages of life should not have to see this day in and day out on their school property...

As of August 11, 2007 it was spotted that Kohl's finally partially painted over most of the graffiti. 2 other sections still remain...
