Friday, January 23, 2009Hard Times For Everyone
Seems like Van Wagner is having some hard times, or else PosterBoy is really going all out. (He tells me these aren't his handy work) I'm sure this is just fallout from the current financial madness but that doesn't make it any less sweet. Empty like this, a billboard's potential becomes much more apparent, and its expected use less determined.

I know you hate billboards & etc, but Jan-March are THE WORST MONTHS for outdoor advertising no matter what.
Good try though.
