More Streetscapes on Historic Manhattan Buildings

Walking around New York, it isn't hard to come by an illegal Streetscape. This recent abomination for Dockers is at 11-19 east 4th street which happens to be a historic building. Oddly as I went to find the exact address through Google maps, I realized it has had advertising copy adorn its landmarked walls before. We called this one in and received complaint # 1276501.

While we were trolling around on Google maps we also ran across this random Streetscape for the History Channel at 384 west Broadway. Who knows when this one went up but we have added both to our growing StreetScape Map of illegal signage.

The streets of New York are littered with signs for all sorts of businesses, but many are illegal as determined by the city's sign department. However, a few companies still try to secure their names on the illegally posted street signs and they're not always caught. I am a writer, and I write Homework Writing Help This particular one turned out to be on what was once a historic building.
