Landmark sign battle aims to save Elyria storepiece
Howard Foxman of Elyria Loomis Camera Co. seeks to keep a 35mm camera neon sign at 413 Broad St, arguing it is a downtown centerpiece. The sign, dating from before 1991, must conform to the city sign ordinance or be removed by May 1996. About 1,000 patrons signed a petition to keep it. Foxman will present it to the Board of Zoning Appeals at the September 19 meeting.
