No I am not trying to rip off Arimistead Maupin. His stories take place in the 70s and 80s and mine, well, mine took place today. Besides that, he is a talented writer so there should be no mistaking the two of us.After running into the Glad Bag Twins yesterday, I decided I was missing a lot of things that go on in the city. I thought to myself, I need to get out and walk around a bit since I spend so many hours there. Usually the only reason I leave the office is to grab lunch. Anyways with camera in hand I took baby steps in getting out. I took a walk up to Union Square and walk around there. I didn't see any unusual people out but I did take a couple of pictures that I thought were interesting. Staci-the Wall-E billboard is for you. :-) I actually do enjoy seeing the billboards when they are new and interesting. I liked the placement of these. And everything seems bigger than life. I took the picture of the Prada store display because I will never be able to afford shopping there. Based on the display on the mannequin though, I don't think (no...I know) I would ever wear something like that outfit. No matter how much "What Not to Wear" I watch. :-)

Great photos Pam! I think our cities would look so much nicer without billboards, altho perhaps not as interesting. Then our eyes would be drawn to the architecture instead of the advertising.
I think you are right about that Sylvia. The billboards are particularly unattractive when they are not kept up. I do not see any billboards from my office, just the buildings.
