I love the stars. I think the one at Leucadia Blvd was removed already. Got some good pics of it before it vanished though. They just won't let anyone improve the 2mile desolation of the RR.

I agree. Those city signs should not be there and they were put up poorly and are flying in the breeze.
I wish people would take the sale signs down when their sale is over.
People are putting signs fortheir businesses in the medians and on the east side.
And the ugly Neon green Tommy Bahama signs are back,

The signs at the park look bad and the surf school signs are inappropriate. And the ugly green neon Bahama signs are back and signs are in the medians and on the east side.
It is bad enough with the construction going on and the horrible Leucdaia Blvd intersection.
Please, take your signs down when your garage sale is over. Don't put signs off sight for your businesses in the public right of way.
IT LOOKS LIKE LEMON GROVE, or Pismo.
HAVE SOME PRIDE. TELL THOSE BUSINESSES TO STOP UGLIFYING LEUCADIA, more than it is.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
