Signs of the Times


Above, a blank billboard serves as backdrop to the Food Court sign on Thomson Ave. near Skillman in Queens.  Note the ATM serves $10 bills, so nearby Laguardia Community College students won't have to break a hundred to buy a sandwich.

Below left, on Van Dam at Bradley in Queens, a car turns a blank billboard into a dead drive-in movie screen.  A few blocks further north on Van Dam, below right, a blank billboard is lost in all the non-blank stuff.


And below, in Manhattan on 7th Ave. at 27th St., a store was wrapped in ads one week, then shrouded in black a week later -- maybe the world's first blank banner-ad building!
