Remember the specifics of the controversy a few years ago surrounding the city of LA’s deal with large, politically-connected outdoor advertising firms over the installation of bright digital billboards, many of which had been originally placed illegally? I don’t either. Controversy is fleeting, but those billboards are here to stay.
This is an interesting survey of billboards in the 1940′s that’s part of a presentation on why outdoor advertising is important for YOUR business. (They’re all so low to the ground!)
See if you can spot the Brown Derby cameo. Let’s have a cocktail and dinner and watch, shall we?
