Zoning nixes controversial Grant Street billboard The electronic billboard that shocked city of Pittsburgh politics this year isn't allowed, according to a split decision from the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and likely will lead to a court fight between the city and Louisiana-based sign giant Lamar Advertising.There could be a court battle. Or, there could be worse. Or, the push back could be aimed like a lazer right at the over-reaching members on city council. Or, the corporation might have got the message and might aim to try to clean up its act of rushing and bully-styled insider dealings. Or, now that Pat Ford is gone, it could all be blamed on him.
I wonder if Pat Ford is happy that the BurghReport is dead -- and -- nuked of all its archives. Perhaps they were pulling strings from Florida to see that occur?

...why such hate during the holidays?
I don't know why the BurghReport owner pulled his own plug.
I don't know what Lamar Ad execs are going to do now that they've lost a lot of money. I'm sure that they will try to recover the sunk costs. Sunk, at the hand of city officials in zoning and city council -- as well as their own full-speed ahead policy.
Hate is your burden, and not mine.
Battles are burdens of life for all -- especially those that live in the city.
