Ch ch changes

The long empty Taco Bell on East Walnut is well on its way to being razed and Great Wall Chinese Buffet out by University Mall finally has its sign almost replaced after the storm damage last May. From what I understand, the reason it has taken so long to replace so many of the storm damaged signs in town is that most of them are free standing. The business insurance policies I've see typically have a clause exempting damage to signs not attatched to the building from coverage. Repairs to free standing signs typically are expensive, hence it takes awhile for the business owner to come up with the capital or loan to get them repaired.
