Regarding signage in business areas:
During a recent trip to S. California, I was again amazed by the 
conscious choices represented by some (generally upscale) communities 
regarding allowable signs.  In places like Rancho Mirage, all business 
signs are subtle, small, and subdued.  No huge billboards and glaring 
electric signs like we see along the Moscow-Pullman highway.
While those communities definitely had strip malls, they were not 
disgustingly ugly, like what is so common elsewhere.  That's where I 
would like Moscow to go.
