[There's an odd case before the Georgia Supreme Court](http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/111400/new_1114000014.shtml) right now. A county near here has banned outdoor signs, except a sinle sign advertising a business' name. The intent, of course, is to ban billboards. Interstate 95 runs through the county, and it's near the state line. Prime billboard territory. There is a strip club up the road a bit called Risque Cafe. The owners of the club formed a new company, incorporated under the name "Risque Cafe / We Bare All Exit 10, Inc." They then leased a warehouse along the interstate and erected a sign bearing the company name. The county cried foul, and now it's in the supreme court.
