I like it. Keep it there, I really got tired of bending over to read it on the floor.

Oh you’ll be fine, Kirk. If it were MySpace, however, I’d definitely warn you first.

I say keep the frame. It looks nice and gives the marker the presence it deserves. Also, tricking me into clicking into twitter, so not cool.

Keep it, please! I like the architectural mimicry of the door/ window frames. (Don’t you like my pompous art history phrases?)

I think the frame maybe makes people less likely to touch it?

The frame’s wood also looks much newer, like if you put a couple more coats of paint it might blend better. Also fill in the screw holes first and paint over them – that is, assuming you decide you want to keep it up on the wall.

Option C would be to have it framed in a “thingy” on top of a pole, staked into the ground near the front steps.
