I've been trying to follow any new signs in my area and have reported quite a few. I can also so that some of the ones that I initially reported have come done. For example, there was a Shell station that went to a 30.06 that is now a 30.07. A Catholic church that I visited in Frisco was supposed to have .06 and .07 signs but apparently retained them only on one part of the complex where there is child care while removing them from the Sanctuary.

There are the corporate decisions like Chuck E Cheese, Sprouts, Whole Foods, etc and, of course, nearly all of the medical establishment. Perhaps Chevron is now on that list. But there appears to be a lot of disparity in other franchises. There is another Shell station just down the road from the one that I reported that now has a 30.07 sign. It has no signs. I wonder if some of the individual franchise holders don't find it easier to blame "corporate" rather than to defend their own decisions.

I think that there was an initial fear factor after OC and all of the threats from Bloomberg/Moms. We have gone many months on OC without bad press coverage and that seems to be driving sign removal, not addition. At least that seems to be true in my area. We were in Harlingen a couple of weeks ago and i used the 30.06app to warn me of signs there. There were the usual corporate ones there, too, but not too many individual places. I didn't find a local there who could verify a trend in either direction.
