Way better than Nickleback.
Just change the towns name to Nickleback. Hanna Montana won’t mind. She goes by Miley now.
No matter what haters say everyone and their mother know a Nickleback song. They are great band and worked hard for their success.
Couldn't you just put the old sign somewhere there is parking and wouldn't be a traffic hazzard. Also slow news day or what? Pretty sure there are all kinds of wars going on to talk about or maybe some things in Yemen.
Let us change the sign location, because people do not know how to safely park off of a highway...sheesh.

Low key, kind of a smart publicity play given Nickelback, while still widely known, isn’t nearly as popular as they once were, so I’m guessing tourism from “Nickelback fans wanting a picture with the sign/to see their hometown” has waned quite a bit. By changing the sign, it’s gotten their town back into the news cycle as the hometown of Nickelback and maybe introduced it to younger fans who now not only have to go to the town to see the sign, but have to pay an admittance fee, a portion of which likely goes to the town somehow, to get into the museum to see the sign.
That's the problem with every town,you have half the community making decisions for the entire community and by god...all our votes should matter
Well I was definitely expecting a different reason 😂😂😂

Ridiculous! If I were Nickleback, I'd NEVER ADMIT I COME FROM THERE ANYMORE! If traffic safety was a problem, they should have made an extra lane, special driveway, or move the effin sign to a safer place, such BS! Hope they can sue the city somehow.

Why not just build a road turn out....if enough people want to stop it's worth it plus it can help bring more money into your town if they end up stopping to spend money at a local store
I remember when R E O Speedwagon took their logo and name off of their tour trucks because they were causing accident
If Nickleback came from my hometown, I wouldn't want anyone to know either.
Glad they could reach oot to find out what it’s all aboot😜

It's because of the song they wrote about the trucker convoy. Is the mayor a liberal or Ndp?😂
How embarrassing, to be on video admitting to being a fan of nickelback.
