I'm sure that whoever lives there aren't happy about their view of the street being blocked by the billboards.You can bet the landlord is benefitting from it.
Dundas Square is Toronto's answer to Times Square with many advertising billboards. It is also site for outdoor concerts and festivals. It was a place for protests and demonstrations, until the authorities decided that in the name of Democracy, protests are only permitted for approved causes and for freedoms in countries far away. I was crossing the square, when the billboard above flooded the place with colour on otherwise grey drizzly day. The square was not always there. It opened in 2002 in effort to revitalize the area. To be honest, I should, but do not remember what was there before.

Times Square. Arguably New York City's most crowded outdoor place. And rightfully so, as when you stand at any spot on that square your eyes are overwhelmed by the amount of light and information around you. A ton of billboards advertising anything that your mind can think of. And then you feel so small being surrounded by all these high rises. So much energy and vibe on this square. Even if it's 2.00 in the morning, there will be a ton of people wandering around and taking pictures. Maybe that's why they say New York is the city that never sleeps.
4 Strings - Take Me Away
A billboard at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 42nd St. just outside of Times Square. There was something about the red truck and the girl that struck me as the photo to post of the ones I took. And I’ve always loved the question “what if?”

Billboard on Sunset Boulevard. 2017
‘Rainman’ decided to advertise his latest film using a mobile billboard; it appears not very mobile. He would have been better off hooking up to that lady’s buggy; at least it would be moving.
This picture was taken outside the Central Library, Manchester, UK.
This old car functions as the business sign for Paris Creek Storage units near Paris, Idaho. I think it is an early 1950's Chevrolet Handyman, but corrections are welcome. It looks like there is a ghost sign under the current business sign, so it would be interesting to know the history of this old-timer. This photo is SOOC.
This billboard seemed to be all aflutter with a wee bit of a sparkled from the diamond in the ring... one of the most delicate billboard images I've ever seen in... don't have a clue tho, who it represents.. must be a diamond jeweler in the city...
got to break up the plethora of selfies or people think you're a narcissist. the colors of the billboard work but i ain't feeling the huge budweiser sign. yes, yes i know i took the shot.
Shot in Soho in Manhattan. Billboard posters like these can seen in many parts of the city esp in Manhattan.Many Manhattanites don't approve of them because they block their view of the street. Others find them distasteful and offensive because some of them border on pornography,esp the Calvin Klein ones,as far as they're concerned and they don't want their children being exposed to them.Some landlords however like them because they promote business.
