he's too late for the county endorsement. and with him announcing this past saturday, he gave himself 11 days to gather 500 good signatures. not am impossible task, but it does put him at a disadvantage (which is to say, at a higher risk of losing his spot on the ballot due to bad signatures)

Tony Cokes is a African-American post-conceptualist artist, who specializes in mono-chromatic text slides. This installation is apart of the 58th Carnegie international held until April 2nd and also includes another work of his titled Free Britney?(about Britney Spears) This work in particular are text fragments of speeches, writings,and lyrics collected from a range of sources. Much like his other work containing billboards, he is interested in “how the context of advertising billboards could catch people’s attention and make them feel uneasy when the message they were given wasn’t clear”.

I am currently trying to research more about this piece. If you have any text or remember any of the sayings please post them.

Yeah they run them once a week as of late, in the Summer. I've been on them probably 10 times. They got a new larger boat, it's nice. Check the schedule beforehand and also call to confirm, they cancel with bad weather or if the driver is busy that day.

They also have different types of cruises, such as lunch or dinner cruises, and special event cruises as well throughout the year.

Hotel Monaco has rooms that I believe are called spa suites. No hot tub, but they have massive Japanese soaking tubs. Big fan, have stayed there several times with my partner legit for the tub. I spend afternoons browsing the internet for 5,000 dollar soaking tubs. I am a changed man after the soaking tub.

I'll go out on a limb and say that big parts of the reason tow companies can operate the way that they do is that they have the budgets to lobby politicians and retain better lawyers than most of the people they're towing. Not to presume too much about OP's situation, but I doubt they're willing to pay enough in legal fees to fight off Spin's corporate lawyers over a minor inconvenience getting out of the driveway.
