      In some cities they are, and it’s a beautiful thing. An example is Canberra, Australia.

        I live near Seattle Washington and there are very few here. Pretty much only on Indian Reservations. But last summer I was on a road trip that took me through Salt Lake City Utah and there were SO MANY BILLBOARDS along the interstate there. I can’t believe the people put up with it.

        Wow I did not notice that this was the case. Gotta appreciate this a bit the next time I visit.

      It’s breathtakingly nicer

      Time for AR where you can replace all those puplic ads with, umm, nsfw art, for example.

      They can be a bit too much, but thanks to a billboard I found out that one of my favorite bands (Morcheeba) are playing in my city.
