Attack Of The Rap Promoters




Fourteen posters on the east side of the "L" tracks and between forty and fifty to the west. Odd that a show 33 and a half miles to the south (Markham, Illinois) decided to plaster the border of Chicago and Evanston with ads.

What if Mayne Stage decided to cover Wheaton's downtown with ads thirty five miles away? Even if the singer or band had hometown connections it would be weird.

This time the signs start at Marshfield and end almost at Ridge Road. Some of the signs have already fallen on the ground. Will DLR or Adrianna's or Yo Gotti help take down all these ads?

Last year Villa shoe store (@Gateway shopping mall) gave Howard Street the same stapled cardboard ad treatment announcing an upcoming rap show at the Congress Theatre.
