Topic	TIL: There are no billboards in Vermont

Let me ask you this: as a traveler, without billboards, what would be your means of finding out what eating, lodging, and fuel options are coming up? The freeway signs that tell you what restaurants/services are off the exits, along with my phone and eyeballs that can see businesses directly. Do you think people in Vermont can't find food? You've never been to VT since the billboard ban. The freeway signs do NOT tell you what businesses are off the exits. Even those blue signs with the restaurants, gas stations, lodgings are also banned. The only signs are those add-on strips that just have the fork & knife, bed, tent, and gas pump icons. You won't know what businesses they are until you can actually see them. And when you exit, the only sign you'll get is the one that point in a direction and simply say "GAS 10", meaning there's a gas station 10 miles in that directiom. And I said "as a traveler" meaning "as someone who isn't familiar with the area/isn't a VT resident." Looking up places to stop at on your phone is much more of a distraction than billboards. --- Montreal Expos (1969-2004) http://www.backloggery.com/Blaqthourne Now playing: Dragon Quest VIII (PS2) -- started 4/11/2017 <cite>Blaqthourne posted [p:877555545] in TIL: There...
