Q. What’s the story with the covered sign in the parking lot in front of the Quarter Bistro–last used, if memory serves, when the space was Rio Bravo?

A. City code limits commercial signage to two times business frontage, or a maximum of 200 square feet. The Quarter Bistro hits that limit with building signage, and so the Rio Bravo parking lot signpost stands shrouded. The restaurant plans to petition the Sign Board of Appeals for a variance.
