    Why do businesses not have large visible numbers?

    Try to find something on US 19, and even major businesses don't have their address number visible from road.

    The year's at the spring
    And day's at the morn;
    Morning's at seven;
    The hill-side's dew-pearled;
    The lark's on the wing;
    The snail's on the thorn:
    God's in his heaven—
    All's right with the world!

    I just learned today how important privacy is in Florida even for businesses.

      They don't rely on walk-in traffic and most have found that the logo is more effective than big numbers. Those that do rely on walk-ins have ways for people to easily find them.

        They probably think that everybody is using GPS.

          The numbers don't help you find them, they help you find other places. If you're looking for Bob's Baby Backs, and you know its address is 2250 Porcine Parkway, it would be helpful to you if Robert's Rib Roost posted its 2130 address in a visible manner, but it wouldn't help Robert.
          Enjoy.

            Bingo!

            The hill-side's dew-pearled;
