Islay Smiley
What an incident-packed week, as covered in the 12th March BI Review.
Hard to choose the burning issue du jour from all the fiery goings on:
- Art Soup starved out?
- Winslow Hardware closing?
- Harbor Commissioner Paul Svornich plumbing new depths of idiotic pronouncements on racing shells?
- Gary Pettersen blaming cars not tourists for downtown Winslow gridlock?
- Ball-point vandalising of the internment memorial display?
None of those, actually.
Clear winner is the bizarre "message" to the Island from the incongruously kilted kitchen of "The" Islay Manor.
One picture tells all: gaze in bemused horror on the sheer clunky affectation of that 'scroll', surpassing kitschness, even by our Bainbridge standards
Och - one canna help wondering why some canny soul down in the Review's advertising dept couldn't have just picked up a phone and saved them going quite so aglae in their choice of design malfunction.
Hoots! What's it even meant to be?
But enough. My cruel illustration with a photo is critique enough.
Further words fail me on the actual appearance.
Next post on this subject will try for courteous head or tail of the actual verbage.
