Landlords & Bad Neighbors

Well this is just one more thing that confirms that KNIT HAPPENS! When I drove up to the store on Wednesday morning this week, Thomas Reprographics had a sign over the top of my store. I have been working hard to get it relocated, but my landlord and Thomas Reprographics seem to think that because I did not have the funds to purchase a sign before them, then they have every right to take my space. Don't worry... all is not lost, I am diligently working to get this situation rectified, and trust me I will. However, in the mean time, if anyone out there is doing business with Thomas Reprographics, just know this about them... They are the type of company that is willing to put there sign over the top of another business, which as we all know is just wrong on ALL levels.
