This is a very visible building with a shitload of people seeing it every day, someone was bound to say something about it. It’s on I-20 FFS


What are billboards, Alex..

I imagine the city is pissed because they can't control what he's doing and make some money off of it.

I'd bet he sets fire to it eventually and then claims it's a racist attack by the KKK.





I'm sure he's got a commercial insurance policy on the structure.

Yeah, every city should look like Houston...with a house, next to a strip mall, by a skyscraper, next to an apt building.

I recall the first time seeing this structure with the fourth story added, thinking to myself , wow , somebody just built a billboard disguised as some type of dwelling . Our business is within line of sight of the now bronzed box , and what do ya know , ding ding , it’s a billboard . My guess is this was never intended to be anything other than a PR stunt from the beginning , and , well , it appears to have worked. On another thread , I must say, the gentleman that was in the fully extended man lift with only three of the four wheels firmly purchased on terra firms while installing the siding, in a stout crosswind I might add, you sir have a big ole set of brass juevos, no kidding , I said more than a few prayers for this rather brave fine American. Anyways, cheers to this guy and getting all the publicity he ever wanted for his building agghhmmm, I mean rent free billboard. Side note, for those that are angered by it , relax , let’s discuss the TONS of garbage festooned across all of S’port city’s roads and highways , my word it has gotten out of hand .

The billboard building was built when OSB prices were below $10.00, and yeah that 4 story OSB box has received at least 6 months or more of the best North LA’s weather has to offer, it survived snow-mageddon though.

This building reminds me of the old State Insurance building that was located across the street from the capitol building. Each time the elevator would move the floors of the building would vibrate and bounce up and down a fraction of an inch. Later it was demoed.

If this building in Shreve will have a flat roof he will definitely have a problem. Also the stairwell takes up a large portion of the building. And maine you have to have some windows.
