The new Gentle Dental center at 612 Centre Street in Jamaica Plain has erected signage that does not respect the character of the neighborhood, nor the regulations that govern signage in our community. We are attempting to encourage them, civilly, to replace their big and blinding signage with a smaller and gentler version more in keeping with the humility of our community (and the regulations of the law).
