I predicted that rooftop advertising would become a big market one day and that building owners would sell space on their rooftops. I'll bet Google is on top of it also and will sell inserts and are already making locations clickable.

I believe that the owners of the building in the second photo are trying to hide the building from the Property Appraiser's office.

"What building? We have a parking lot.

Cool. Where is the Indian? Never saw that.

The Ford building must be over a flight path I am assuming.

Ever see the Conde Nast Building in NYC? They have a green rooftop billboard that uses some kind of rechargeable cells. You can see it in New Jersey.

The parking lots at Ford are looking kinda empty too.

P.S. You can't actually see faces, I thought at first they were just blurry, but I believe there's some editing going on. Try and find a sowal sticker. Especially over by Gulf Place. :scratch:

I know the signs you speak of. The signs look blurry so you can't pick out what's on the sign. You must be the one who put stickers on those signs. I like how the one looks like the guy on the sign is holding onto the sticker, like a purse.

Wasn't me, I prefer to deface public property in other towns.

Those stickers have been there for years now.

I was walking down there today and see that the sticker has been removed!
I know where there are a couple more that I might be able to pick up. The back of the stop sign in the NE corner of 393 and 30-A. I'll be back.
