Calvin Coolidge Billboard- Webster Square
One of only two billboards I've found in the city that is not owned by Clear Channel. It has displayed this Calvin Coolidge quote for months, about a month ago the right-most board fell down. It reads: "No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."

Thanks for joining us -- this is something I drive by (nearly) daily!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the few billboards that I don't mind seeing on a regular basis.

Thank you both!
ReplyDeleteI really like this billboard too. I hope it's going to be time for a makeover soon, though, because it's starting to show its age. Maybe they'll post a new quote?
It's really interesting how the ownership translates into the viability of advertising on it, rather than the location. This one is in a prime spot, but has had a non-commercial message on it forever (not that I'm complaining). Just south of it on Main, across the street from Maury's, is a Clear Channel board that is always plastered with a current ad, even though it's smaller and mostly obscured by a tree all summer.
Really interesting...
