to permit only one sign in the town of Flint Hill. You don’t need a degree in marketing to see that one sign in Flint Hill isn’t going to be enough to get the needed business. The signs must be placed on 211.
I don’t know what motivates Mr. Dwyer. Apparently, he sees the sewing factory as an eyesore in the county. I don’t consider it beautiful myself, but I live closer to it than Mr. Dwyer and, in my opinion, it is inoffensive. It is quiet and smokeless; it doesn’t hurt anyone. I look directly over ij as I sit on my picnic table on the .hide of Little Mulky and survey the beautiful Virginia landscape and it is not an eyesore. I suppose Mr. Dwyer has a heightened sensitivity to that same beauty of Rappahannock County. But then I wonder. How sensitive to architectural and rural landscape beauty can a person be who sits on a bulldozer and piles rocks up in a 12-foot wall around his home as if he were expecting a siege? Transforming a lovely, Virginia farm house into a fort displays a lack of sensitivity to me. But that’s his home and his business.
It’s when Mr. Dwyer uses his power and presumes eloquence against the working people of Rappahannock that I become incensed. At a time when we all know that foreign imports are hurting America’s industry and no industry is being hurt more than textiles and garment manufacturing, it strikes me as not just selfish and arrogant of Mr. Dwyer, but downright unpatriotic to speak against a few road signs that may well be the key to hundreds of jobs for the citiziens of Rappahannock.
