WHAT THE ...ORANGE?


What does everyone think about the new renovation of Lawton's on Spring Garden Road?

I feel the exterior is extremely inappropriate for our cities historic main street. Could their designers not have shown some sensitivity to the area. I am disappointed at the lack of consideration a retail neighbour has shown for an urban area. When a person compares that loud screaming orange that Lawton's used to what Boots Pharmacy has done in the UK (see below), it makes you think that better options do exist.

Maybe the merchant's of Spring Garden Road and the City of Halifax should get together on specific exterior guidelines that local companies can use. When it comes to signage, I think that the new Pete's Frootique did it "more right" than Lawton's has.

Here are links for Lawton's, if you feel like calling and giving them your opinion:
