Posted January 25, 200718 yr West Virginia: Wild and... open for business? :? This reminds me of Kentucky's former slogan: "We are open for business!" followed by "Where education pays!". Now it is "Unbridled spirit" which is really nice. It's a shame WV put up some nice signage with a beautiful background, but ruined it with a stupid slogan. Article information: "Wild and wonderful or open for business? Associated Press January 25, 2007"
January 25, 200718 yr i think all states should use the Conan O'Brian slogans that were used for the "new state quarters" segments
January 25, 200718 yr As a native West Virginian, I think I speak for everyone else in the state -with the exception of Gov. Joe Manchin - when I say NO ONE likes the "Open for Business" slogan. West Virginia is wild and wonderful dammit!! :whip:
January 25, 200718 yr Old welcome sign on minor state and U.S. highways -- Old welcome sign on interstate and major U.S. highways -- IMO, it was bland and boring, design-wise. New welcome sign -- IMO, nice background and design, but the bottom slogan would be nice if it was cursive and if it read - "WILD AND WONDERFUL"
January 26, 200718 yr "Open for business" With a mountain range in the background. EXPLOITATION! Let's strip mine it! After all, the mountains are open for business, right? /you would feel the same if you drove through southwest West Virginia
January 26, 200718 yr So Sherman, have you bickered with SP Cook & Arif over this, on MTR, as well? :wink2:
January 26, 200718 yr Between SP's rants about how West Virginia is so corrupt (why doesn't he move out?) and Arif's "damn I'm good" driving techniques... I've pretty much moved on... to here, UrbanPlanet, and Yahoo Groups :)
January 26, 200718 yr I need to catch up with MTR. I think LBMHBF (or whatever the hell it goes by now) is an automotive journalist looking for arguments against overzealous highway regulations.
