Here is a vacant house in Cleveland:
And here is the view from the porch:
It looks like every yellow pages company in Cleveland has done their part to pollute this property.
First we have a Yellow Book:
And AT&T’s Real Yellow Pages:
Plus a bonus AT&T White Pages:
And another AT&T Yellow Pages:
Plus two fresh copies of Cleveland247:
Dear Cleveland businesses. THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR! Your ad dollars are going toward the printing, transportation, distribution, and eventual disposal costs of the above phone books. You’re also paying for the costs of copper theft and other crimes resulting from the advertising of vacant homes through phone book waste.
Please consider less damaging advertising channels.
Ugh. It’s like they’re breeding.
(Pretty house though – nice leaded glass!!!)
Phone books. The new Shoefitti?
Give ’em hell, Ed. Looking forward to seeing you at Wednesday’s Housing Committee meeting in the Hawthorne Neighborhood, where your expertise in this subject will be useful and welcomed as we discuss the problem of unwanted phone book dumping.
