Eyesore of the Week: Brought to You by Lamar Advertising
Eyesore: “Something offensive to view.”–Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary
This billboard advertising a Canoga Park Strip Club isn’t in a nearby commercial or industrial area, but next door to a residential neighborhood near L.A.’s Venice Beach, some 25 miles away. (Lamar recently made news when advertisements for medical marijuana were put on billboards within a block of a high school in Anaheim, although they were moved after complaints were made. ) For more about Lamar Advertising eyesores, see Blighting L.A.’s Poorest Neighborhoods.
