Greedy Trial Lawyer
Was Garish Orange The Original Color Of The Alamo?
Category: In Your Face
Overlawyered.com alerts us to a visual blight upon San Antonio. My assumption is that this blight, after much research and analysis, is going to be attributed to frivolous lawsuits which, in turn, are brought by greedy trial lawyers.
The Alamo -- and its orange stripe
Tourists from around the country descend on San Antonio to snap pictures of the famed Alamo, which looks pretty much as it must have looked in Texas's pre-statehood days, with one big exception: the curb in front of the historic battle site and running the length of the building has been painted a garish orange, as an accident-prevention measure.
On behalf of the frivolous injured persons who have stepped off unmarked curbs I acknowledge the ugliness of the orange or yellow paint (although garish may be a stretch).
I presume Overlawyered is developing a pastel orange or, perhaps, a camouflage motif to improve the vista at the Alamo. Or, urging there be no special marking at all. Good for you. See you in court.
By the way, the only existing video footage of the Alamo taken by Davy Crockett shows its original color was orange.

If only there was some way to know if the stripe is orange enough-- someone will still trip on it and manage to blame the curb for their injuries. There's no warning sign indicating what the orange stripe is meant to indicate, after all.
