Message of the Day – Billboards

November 24, 2012 By: Cal Skinner Category: Billboard, Georgia, Lady Bird Johnson, Message of the Day

As we were driving through South Georgia, I notice lots of billboards.

Obviously the campaign to limit billboards has been lost along this Georgia section of Interstate 75.

It reminded me of Lady Bird Johnson’s campaign to get rid of them.

For a while, the Federal government was buying owner out, I believe.

Billboard advertising has obviously reasserted itself along this Interstate highway.
