Pawn Shop Promises - But Does Nothing about Sign

At the April 2nd City Council meeting it was decided that the City of Kennesaw had no jurisdiction to enforce the Georgia Code section which barred Pawn Shops from using 'Loan' in their advertisements.  However the topic of the name of the store 'Cruchelow Jewelry and Loan' came up repeatedly as that name by itself was an obvious violation of that Code section.

It was represented to the Council and audience 3 times that the sign was going to be changed quickly and the cost to Cruchelow for the change was established to be $500.

As of 5/1/12 there have been no changes at all in the signage: 

Below are the 3 references to changing the sign to remove the term 'Loan' both Attorney Pryor and Cruchelow told the City Attorney and Councilmember Jenkins that the wording was to be quickly changed:

Attorney Pryor: 
Thank you for reminding me about that. I’ve spoken to my clients about the State law that you talked about and they understand that State law needs to be respected. . . . I sent a letter to the Mayor, and I know Mr. Bentley got a copy of that letter that said they are willing to take down the signs that have the "loan" language and come into compliance with that State law to the extent that it addresses everybody’s concern about that issue. They don’t have any problems with that; there are no problems with doing that. That will be an expense that they’ll incur. But Mr. Bentley’s correct – we have put forward a compromise to take the "loan" language out of their advertising and off their sign.

Councilmember Jenkins:
I do have one actually Mr. Mayor. Mr. Cruchelow, do you have any idea right off the top of your head, just a ballpark, what are you looking at expense-wise to change that, change that sign? I mean, just a ballpark, I’m just curious.
Mr. Cruchelow:
I think under $500. We got a quote from our sign guy who said he would get back with us sometime this week, so…

Attorney Bentley: 
I apologize. You said you think that you can have it completed by…?
Attorney Pryor:
They have contacted their sign people who actually did the sign initially. They’ve gotten a quote. It’s in the process of being changed and he’s, Mr. Chuchelow has testified it’s going to be under a $500 fix, but it’s as soon as possible in terms of… I mean, it’s a deep priority at their business to get that changed and come into compliance.
