Milton is a funny little place south of Dunedin. A rural service centre which is also home to the infamous Milton Hilton corrections facility.

For as long as I can remember, visitors were welcomed by large signs at either end of the town which read:

"Milton -- 'The Town of Opportunities'"

We always had a laugh as we passed those signs. "Milton!"

The Clutha District Council is refreshing town signs and while Milton now has a tasteful river scene with some elongated slender man standing on a shallow punt facing sideways across a river, it's apparently no longer a town of opportunities.

They dropped the strapline.

Will Milton ever recover?
