HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEY ASKED COSTELLO TO EXPLAIN.
13:17:33 he was my Son and while I was watching him something hapened when he got hurt. So I felt not directlynresponsible but in a way responsible. 44

THE "GOD IS LOVE" SIGN HAS SHINED ON MCGREGOR BOULEVARD JUST SOUTH OF COLONIAL BOULEVARD FOR 70 YEARS.
BUT RECENTLY IT'S BEEN DARK.
TODAY, THOUGH, VOLUNTEERS PUT ON SOME FINISHING TOUCHES.
A-B-C SEVEN'S KELLY CRESWELL FOUND OUT WHEN THE LIGHTS COULD COME BACK ON.
Return to index of stories...
IT'S AN ICON FOR DRIVERS ALONG MCGREGOR BOULEVARD.
THE GOD IS LOVE SIGN PASSES A CLEAR MESSAGE. BUT IT'S BEEN HIDDEN FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
07.15.23 because it's a popular landmark and people were concerned, Carter signs put up a temporary sign while the original is being repaired.
NATS
THE SIGN HAD A ROUGH YEAR AFTER THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND IT WAS KNOCKED OVER BY A TRUCK.
BUT NOW THE GOD IS LOVE SIGN HAS FRESH COAT OF PAINT, NEW GLASS LIGHTS, AND ELECTRICAL WIRES.
06.45.41 Just put the black out here and use some of the white, shorten the leads up so they're not long in there.
IT WAS THE LOVE FROM THE COMMUNITY---THAT PAID FOR THE REPAIRS.
THE PRICE FOUNDATION IS FOOTING THE BILL TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHTS STAY ON.
06.49.25 We're doing it as a project of the Price foundation and we'll see that things are paid for, if people choose to donate it would be very nice and we'll use the help, but that doesn't have anything to do with keeping the sign, we're going to do that.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL FOR LOUISE GRUNSTED---THE NIECE OF GEORGE GRUESBECK, WHO ORIGINALLY PUT UP THE SIGN.
07.02.10 oh yeah, I remember that so much.
LOUISE REMEMBERS WHEN SHE USED TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE--- THE SIGN SITS IN FRONT OF.
HER UNCLE GEORGE, A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST, PUT UP THE SIGN TO SPREAD AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
I knew what he was meaning and it was good. God is Love and that was what he felt when he worshipped. He worshipped God. God is love.
AND WITH SOME MUCH NEEDED LOVE, THE SIGN WILL GO BACK UP THIS WEEK.
it's coming along good.

It is a cold start to the work week. Temperatures are starting in the 30s and 40s across Southwest Florida. Through the day, we'll see a good amount of sunshine, winds from the north around 15 mph and we'll warm near 70 degrees. That is a bit more mild than what we felt through the weekend with the highs the past few days staying in the 60s. Through the week, we'll see a mix of sun and clouds…some days with more sunshine and some days a few more clouds. For tomorrow, we're going to start with temperatures in the 40s and 50s to warm up into the upper 70s. From Wednesday through Friday, highs will be in the low to mid 70s. As you look ahead to the weekend plans, you can expect temperatures to warm into the lower 80s. Overall, this looks like a pretty nice week.
