Workers hoisted twin 5-ton signs into place at the front and rear entrances of the new Dick’s Sporting Goods at Lakeshore Mall on Wednesday, putting a visible accent on the 45-year-old Gainesville landmark’s makeover. The signs, made in Bensalem, Pa., by Imageone Industries, came south on four trucks, said vice president of field operations David Lugo on Wednesday. They each weigh 10,100 pounds and measure 20 feet high by 48 feet, 10 inches wide, Lugo said.
