The Ballard Blocks development sure isn’t shy about branding.
A few months ago, it hoisted a big sign above Mike’s Chili. And today, Kevin Schlosser stopped to take this photo of another “Ballard Blocks” sign going up on the building. You can see more photos here. (Thanks Kevin for the photo!)
Another Ballard sign goes up
such an eyesore! those who complain ab out the EMP should set their sights on the Ballard Blocks!
i think you mean mike's CHILI- the food, not the country…
Thanks, jezbian!
Yeah, real classy. Are they afraid people won't know Ballard Blocks is in Ballard?
I have nothing against Ballard Blocks, in fact it's nice having a Trader Joe's here, but come on. Reminds me of some of the unnecessarily big neon signs in Vegas. Daqueri! Keno!
Ooh, look! Big, bright, sign! Let's go in and spend some money!
Ballocks!
How about we encourage “Nine Million in Unmarked Bills” to open here instead of the old Triangle, then we can kill two birds with one stone.
People, People. Can anyone I.D. the type face used for this big sign?, c'mon, think…just for fun…
Does anyone know if they plan on charging for parking? I went in there yesterday and they have a little ticket booth, not yet in service, but looks to be almost ready for operation.
lowtide — it looks like arial narrow elongated. your query's got me curious though…
