Harumph...sounding like the old-time advertising geezer that I am...what passes for outdoor messaging these days is just
pitiful. I don't know what has happened to all the bright young minds in the business, but everyone seems to have forgotten
that outdoor advertising is used to increase awareness, not communicate detail. When you slap up a detailed message on an
electronic board, the result is an impossible to read mess that flashes by before you can register much more that a few
colors. I don't get it. It's a waste of money. And on top of it all, they're ugly and distracting.
An article in the Herald Neighbors Northwest last Sunday detailed the scheme of Annexation for Billboards by the City of Miami Springs. They entered into a settlement agreement with a billboard company that grants locations along the Palmetto once the City annexes the area.
Biscayne Times publishes a great cover story about billboards detailing how politicians and city staffers bend over backwards to cave in to billboard lobbyists.
