Check out what it once was: https://youtu.be/JWLqOTgp-U0?t=551 Can't tell me that wouldn't be the most incredible thing in DT Phoenix if that was restored to its original glory. |
Thanks for posting the vid. That sign was fantastic looking!

I always thought billboards had easements on property and stay in perpetuity. It's like when central Phoenix met its demise in the 70s-90s, billboards were the only way to get some money, that's why there are so many of them. |
I've always hated that billboard. Thank god they took it down!
