Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco, New York; what big city has the outdoor advertising industry under control?
Last March, we reported on the case of an illegal supergraphic sign advertising Chase Bank installed over the second-floor office windows of a building at 7201 Melrose Ave. The city issued a citation to the building owner, Macculloch Properties of Brentwood, and in May referred that citation to the City Attorney’s office for criminal prosecution. The sign was then removed, but replaced in August by one advertising the TV show, Melrose Place. Then in October, a third supergraphic sign went up, this one advertising HTC cellphones. As of this writing, the sign was still in place.

This is crazy. This is also very distracting for drivers passing by. I wonder by how much traffic accidents increased in the neighborhood because of the sign.
