Sopot in Poland banned all billboards. I'm excited to visit and see how it feels. Amazing I reckon.
- monktastic1 2y agoOh, thank God. I only visited Portland once, and despite being vastly different from Austin in climate and flora, the sea of billboards made it feel eerily familiar (and not in a good way). I expected it to feel more like Seattle, but that one thing made a world of difference.
- nobody9999 2y agoPoland != Portland. But very close as they're both in the Northern Hemisphere, although not on the same continent. Sopot, Poland[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopot
- monktastic1 2y agoLol, don't know how my mind filled in those letters, but that was indeed my Portland experience so I'll leave it.
- sadeshmukh 2y agoUntil this, I kept reading it as Poland despite reading it at least 3 times over.
- a5seo 2y agoWait, doesn’t Austin have a billboard ban? There are some billboards but they’re grandfathered in and cannot be rebuilt if they fall over. https://www.kut.org/austin/2022-04-21/advertising-companies-wanted-to-overturn-austins-billboard-rules-the-u-s-supreme-court-says-no https://www.kut.org/austin/2022-04-21/advertising-companies-...
- monktastic1 2y agoHuh, could have fooled me. My first experience of Austin was long stretches of ugly billboards (I think mostly on Burnet and N Lamar), and despite living here for years that first impression never left. Now that I think about it, without some kind of ban of course there would be way more billboards where I now live.
