So as to not deface the environment, Oro Valley has a code which prohibits billboards. We wonder if big, ugly trailers advertising a developer is considered a violation. Regardless, once you see it, we think you'll agree, it should be out of there, and the sooner the better.
Our own Zee Man alerted us to this situation on his podcast of Sept 8. Anyone driving into Oro Valley on Oracle road north of Tangerine road has two choices. Look to the left at the entrance to our beautiful Catalina State Park, or to the right, and see Vestar's new Marketplace, featuring the 24/7 Wal-Mart Super Center.
You won't be able to miss seeing a giant white trailer, advertising "Vestar," with their web site. Sure, it's their property, but talk about "ugly." What a site to behold! I guess that's just one more indication of Vestar's David Malin following up on his promise to be a "good neighbor."
We can only hope our Town Council looks into this situation, and determines that the "advertisement" must go.

The "sign" speaks volumes in terms of what Vestar wants to do to Oro Valley.
Does the term trailer trash come to mind.
Not insulting anybody who lives in a trailer, most are fine looking
But this actually does look trashy!!
This Vestar trashmobile will
be the norm once the Wal Mart opens,
I sent a letter to the 3 members of the Town Council who do not worship at the altar of Vestar asking them to look into this and have it removed if it's not necessary to the development. No response yet.
Having a trailer parked there is simply foreshadowing of things to come...as in, if a Wal-Mart is built, the trailer trash will follow!
"Good news" of sort. Sue Novelli states that the town staff met and decided the trailer must go. They "requested" Vestar to move it. should be gone this week. Nothing about the Diamond Ventures trailer at Stezam Pump Village.
