Here's our nomination for Oro Valley's Schlock Sign. We didn't know that Oro Valley allowed this kind of sign. It looks like a bed sheet with some writing on it. We hope the quality of the $7.99 haircut is better than the quality of the sign. We also wonder if this type of sign is "In Our Nature."

I second the nomination. Some may not allow further discussion. However, please let me say this is the best choice for Oro Valley's Schlock Sign! In case you didn't trip over its A-frame, or you missed the improperly placed banner, you most certainly will see the 4 signs in the windows. Or perhaps, you are new to the USA, and did not realize that anywhere you see this national chain with a 30-year history, you can be certain to get a cheaply-priced haircut.
What the heck is going on with "seeking competitive proposals from qualified and interested firms to design, furnish, staff and manage an on-site health and wellness clinic to provide quality medical services to Town employees and dependents..."? I think it is exceedingly rare for any organization to run its own medical services department. How much will this perk cost the taxpayers of Oro Valley. Why is this the first we are hearing about this? Does the town really have the authority to do this on their own initiative? Where do council members stand on this? What is the history behind this? This whole thing troubles me greatly!
