Rectangular Signs, Triangular Problem

We saw some interesting yards signs last night on the 3700 block of Arkansas (a.k.a. Pyramid's half-built Keystone Place), just a few feet from where the new McDonald's is supposed to be built:

NO
DRIVE-THRU
HERE

SAME
McDONALD'S,
SAME
McLITTER

PYRAMID:
DON'T
COP OUT

ASK
FLORIDA
WHY

Wow. Those are some strong sentiments coming from those homeowners (and I agree with them!). As we went around the corner, we saw one more sign:

SAVE
KEYSTONE
PLACE

How telling about the way that St. Louis is being developed by many of our most prominent big names. Pyramid has yet to even finish this previous development, and already its residents feel that it is in danger. What puts it in danger? Why, another potential Pyramid project, when they haven't even completed the last one on that block!
