All this reference to billboards....reminds me that in L.A. (I lived there for 6 years from age 18) they did actually have really nice street signs. They would often suspend them directly over the intersection, nice and bold and right in front of you, so you knew what cross street you were passing over. I really miss those. Here it's more likely that you nearly kill someone scanning the 4 corners of an intersection that may or may not have anything indicating where you are at all. And then you might get lucky and see the names of the streets, or maybe just one, or half of one that is bent downward, as a dying plant.
This is a pic I took while driving one day in L.A. Now what are they selling???
Los Angeles is a moral compass without the needle...
