Advertecture Update: 'We're Almost Entirely Legal'

Also overheard:

"You don't have to be advertiser to call..."

Advertising. We really don't have enough of it in this city.

Why, just the other day I was walking down some quaint, tree-lined, and brownstoned block in the WV and I said to myself...

"You know, dude, look at all these trees and brownstones just sitting there doing nothing. What if you got some people together, razed the entire fucking block, and put up a gigantic billboard/condo development? Condos on the inside, wraparound advertising on the outside. Condotising. Yeah, you could call it Condotising. Just one fucking massive, monolithic slab of a building with ads and condos. Something that would really suck the soul out of the village and contribute nothing to the future of the city. Yeah, Condotising. Maybe plant a few trees for the econuts courtesy of ExXon...hmmmm..."

Then I snapped out of it. Because, really, who am I kidding? There are no more quaint, tree-lined, brownstoned blocks left to raze.

I saw the ad on the post office vehicle depot near Chelsea piers. Isnt there a law against government sponsored ads. While the city law cannot be applied to government buildings, the federal law does not allow corporate involvement/sponsorship in government affairs, this would include income for advertising on government buildings. That's like putting ads on the white house....
I am sure if someone wanted to push the issue, these ads would be dropped too. But whose going to do that? Quinn?

You spoke my own thoughts Dude Passing-- and I'll venture to say the same for many, many, other NY'ers.

I've actually stopped going to the WV-- it really makes me that sad that I just don't go anymore.
