"Pink limo causes stir in Cary Posted: Oct. 22 5:49 p.m. Updated: Oct. 22 8:34 p.m. Raleigh, N.C. — A bright pink limo parked at the Cary Towne Center has caused some complaints in the city that is known for its neutral color palette. The limo is used by the Sweet and Sassy Spa for girls, which opened at the mall in May. Owner Brenda Sizemore said many refer to the business as “girl heaven.” The limo transports girls to and from the spa. The vehicle’s bright color was selected because “that’s what little girls are all about – pink,” Sizemore said. While customers may like the color, a handful of people complained to town officials and asked if the limo was violating any town code. Town of Cary Senior Planner Dan Matthys said the vehicle is “in compliance” with the city’s ordinance. If the vehicle were parked along a busy road, like Walnut Street, the limo would be in violation of the town’s sign rules, Matthys said. The limo is not a distraction to traffic because it is parked far enough away from a main road. A black-and-white striped Humvee used by White Tiger Taekwondo was found to violate the ordinance. “The Town of Cary called it unprofessional because we were on the main road here,” White Tiger’s Brad Bishop said. Two years ago, the town started fining the company for illegal signage. “I think it ended up getting around $2,000 a day,” Bishop said. White Tiger never paid the fine and found a way to keep the vehicle from being a stationary sign. “We move the vehicles around so they’re never in the same spot,” Bishop said. The Sweet and Sassy limo has a permanent parking space as part of the owner's lease. The town has an ordinance regulating the color of business signs. It states “the use of high-intensity colors or fluorescent pigments is prohibited.” Because of that ordinance, Sweet and Sassy does not have a pink sign at its store. The ordinance does not apply to the color of the limo, however. "

10/23/2008 12:17:53 AM

I'd wager it has higher property values too

The politburo of the People's Republic of Cary discussing its displeasure with colorful self-expression among the proletariat.

10/23/2008 6:56:59 AM

I'd complain about a giant pink limo too. This is America, not Pee Wee's Playhouse

10/23/2008 7:07:02 AM

Cary's property values in most neighborhoods are no higher than they'd be in Raleigh, Apex, or Garner.

10/23/2008 8:27:07 AM

i hate that limo, it is always in the way when i want to cut through the parking spaces instead of stopping at the stop signs.

I support getting ride the ugly thing, but the town telling you want color your property can be, is freaking ridiculous. Cary makes about as much sense to me as a home owners association.

In soviet cary, pink limo rides in you.

10/23/2008 3:43:01 PM

LOL

I would have to have part of my brain removed to live in Cary. I <3 the dirty realness of the city.

10/23/2008 3:50:45 PM

I loved living in Cary. I also love living in Durham. Apparently I just love everything, because those two are night and day.

10/23/2008 3:52:02 PM

I got shot at in Durham the first month I moved there. Too gangsta for me.

My ex got mugged like 6 months later just up the street too, so it wasn't isolated, though perhaps a bad area

Did you explain to them that at the time there was a drought and you couldn't turn ALL the water into wine?

10/23/2008 3:54:46 PM

No, I got in my car and pealed the fuck out of there

I was once stranded in Durham for a whole night. I walked around Duke's campus and North Gate for eight hours. No mugging for me.

10/23/2008 3:57:21 PM

Duke's campus is a pretty nice / safe area. North Gate Mall is startin' in the wrong direction.

10/23/2008 3:59:49 PM

why is the parking space painted pink too
