Fading Ad’s
One of my most favorite things about Downtown Los Angeles is the Fading advertising. You know when you look up and see an old sign for Sears downtown. When there hasn’t been a sears in downtown in centuries. Here are a couple of websites devoted to the dying art of fading advertising:

That’s awesome, that was one of my most favorite things about San Francisco, the old hotel ads on the sides of all the buildings. I don’t mind some artful tagging here and there, but whenever people threw some stuff up on those, it always made me angry.
