Description
A welcome sign in La Mesa isn't so welcoming at least according to many people in the area. Several people in La Mesa told CBS 8's Ariana Cohen the welcome sign near Lake Shore Drive has been in disrepair for more than two years and they reached out to CBS 8 for help.
"It's a terrible eyesore," said Cathy Edwall who lives in La Mesa.
"It's an eyesore and doesn’t make La Mesa look real good," said Joe Baughles who lives in La Mesa.
"It's crumbling literally on the ground. I don’t know how much worse it can get," said Sean Shahri who has lived in La Mesa for 25 years.
For well over a year, the old sign has been covered with this notice indicating that a new sign will be installed.
