Is anyone else turned off by tacky plastic-y beer banners outside an eating establishment. A cafe that otherwise looks presentable has a guady banner hung outside "Budweiser $2.50." Blech.  To me the message is "the price of our beer is more important than it's taste, and more important than the food we serve.

I dont drink, so I dont pay any attention to them. Then again... most places that have them banners I cant take my kids into anyways.

It does cheapen the image of an establishment to have a beer banner hanging out front. That is why it is so cool to steal them and hang them in your apartment.

Always knew that California was from a different world. So was Texas for that matter. Sometimes I think they still are, and that ain't necessarily bad, just different.
Try to imagine what would have happened if the California Gold Rush had occurred in Iowa?

I too, am turned off by this. Now, if they had a sign for a good microbrew for $2.50, it might be another story. I dislike Budweiser. ( then there's the old one about the guy who drinks that stuff being "sadder budieser" 
I guess I'd rather go to a place that doesn't advertise its prices in the window or glory in (IMHO) substandard beer not worth drinking. It is good for killing slugs thought......
