Earlier this week we saw not one, but two, giant signs against the May 24 East Cobb Cityhood referendum that were posted along the edges of the East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center.
They were produced by the East Cobb Alliance, the main group opposed to cityhood, and were planted in prime viewing range in the heart of the community—the Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry Road corridor.
But the Alliance noted in a Facebook post Wednesday night that the signs will have to be removed because “there was an internal miscommunication with the property owner/manager.”
The message didn’t indicate what the miscommunication was.
East Cobb Crossing is managed by The Shopping Center Group, and recently it welcomed a new Publix store.
East Cobb News has left a message with The Shopping Center Group seeking more information.
The sign above fronts Roswell Road at the intersection of East Cobb Drive; another is adjacent to Dick’s Sporting Goods on Johnson Ferry Road.
The Alliance has been handing out smaller signs with a similar design that have been placed in residential yards.
There are a few along Robinson Road and the Chimney Springs subdivision, as well as Indian Hills.
Some pro-cityhood signs were spotted along Paper Mill Road in the Atlanta Country Club area.
Representatives for the Committee for East Cobb Cityhood and the East Cobb Alliance will be squaring off in debates: April 19 by the East Cobb Business Association, and May 4 by the Rotary Club of East Cobb.
As for the East Cobb Crossing signs, the Alliance is asking that “if you have locations for these bold beauties let us know.”

Signage is propaganda ……. Be careful what you believe – Look at who in our state legislature voted for this bill and who voted against…… Be very careful……
I am not a fan of the proposed new bridge to cross the river at Atlanta Country Club Drive. Yes Riverside is a mess but why would the new City spend SPLOST money on a new crossing? I for one will not vote for candidates pushing for that.
Good to know.
Won’t be shopping there no more. Only thing I visit there is Party City but no more patronage from me.
Anyone who wants more taxes and regulations must be expecting a kick back some where. Us ordinary folk have nothing to benefit.
They could have a simple “No political signs”policy.
There are not a “few” in Chimney Springs. I think there are dozens of “NO!” signs in Chimney Springs.
