It would be nice to see Cincinnati take this approach and perhaps an ordiance baning modern billboards in historic districs would be nice. Many cities EXCEPT Cincinnati have taken a path to eliminate billboards from their historic downtowns.Paul Wilhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327323928859170490noreply@blogger.com
