Another Billboard in Venice

Billboard 2
Another billboard was sighted by Mariana Aguilar at Rose and Lincoln, northeast corner this week.

If you feel that this billboard is inappropriate for this community, register your complaint by calling or e-mailing Ray Baker, Lamar’s local rep, and asking that it be removed. The number is 323-877-8897. Email is rbaker@lamar.com.

Copy Councilman Mike Bonin, so that his office will be aware of any complaints. According to Dennis Hathaway, president of coalition to ban billboards, Lamar has been lobbying the city for the right to put up digital billboards, and recently filed a lawsuit against the city to force it to issue permits for 45 new full-size digital billboards.

Julie Jungwirth of Harbor Crossing called Ray Baker on the first sign sighting at Lincoln and Washington and let him know that she had lived in community for 39 years and didn’t appreciate that sign. He apparently asked what was wrong with it. “It is a gentlemen’s club,” he said. She told him she drove her grandchildren by and didn’t appreciate the sign and she didn’t appreciate him putting sleaze in “our neighborhood.” He ended the call by stating that sleaze was her opinion.
