Who are you?

We here at Inside Scoop have a little mystery and are hoping someone out there in the online scoopsphere might be able to lend us a hand.

Starting this week, signs with the following message began popping up around town:

"VOTE OUT PRO-BILLBOARD COMMISSIONERS on NOVEMBER 2nd."

That's it. They have no attribution, no contact information and no hint who the writer might consider a "pro-billboard commissioner." Scoop has spied them at many locations all over town, including at the sign farm in front of the Old County Courthouse in downtown Greensboro.

The signs strike us as a bit strange, especially since the two arguably most pro-billboard commissioners, Republican Billy Yow and Democrat Melvin "Skip" Alston, have already been assured re-election because they face no general election opposition.

We'd love to talk with whoever is putting up those signs and see what's on their minds.

Alright scooper sleuths, get on the case. If you're behind the signs or know who might be, report back here via the comments link on this post or drop a dime to: mbinker@news-record.com.
