Anyone know what happened to the classic billboard that sat on top of the building where Hollywood and Sunset intersect (as seen above)?
The billboard was one of the last (if not the last, I haven't seen any elsewhere) that boasted the old art deco, curved white-and-black border that was once the norm for ads. It's been replaced by a regular billboard.
Not only was the Sunset/Hollywood billboard unique in its appearance, but it also attracted business from protest groups, art collectives and other organizations -- most of which actually painted the ads by hand, rather than slapping wallpaper up. As a matter of fact, I don't remember ever seeing a regular ad on the billboard.
