I have an idea for a new series here on The Deets: Faces of Snipe. Identifying the people who litter in our communities by placing illegal advertisements for things like “We Buy Houses” or dating services. I’ll kick it off with this snipe ad that was nailed to a pole outside the Riverview Cafe and [...]
