All the Ads in Times Square, New York City

Posted by Alex in Advertising, Travel & Places on July 16, 2009 at 1:59 am


Think that websites and blogs are so laden with ads? Well, the virtual page is nothing compared to the physical space when it comes to ads – take Times Square, for instance. Back in 2007, David Friedman of Ironic Sans blog decided to take a photo of every single ad in Times Square. It took him 20 minutes, and he came up with 183 ads total.

Lest you think that this ad business is a recent invention, check out this photo of Times Square back at the turn of the century:
