Get those billboards down!

Sao Paulo recently passed a law. It said that if your sign is too big, you have to take it down and replace it. What the dimensions are for stores and billboards, I don't know. But everywhere around town, businesses are taking their signs down and replacing them.

Even on the interstate, billboards are coming down for good. So many of these advertisements are Times Square style and size.

Yesterday I passed by a McDonald's. The sign had been replaced by the Golden Arches about 1/4 the size of the original.

It's actually pretty nice. Some of these signs are really distracting and others are just plain ugly. Some are really cool and I hate to see them go. The city did seem to be wall-t0-wall billboards at times.

If only these sign companies had stock to buy...
