Can't sleep? How about sleeping permanently? These dueling billboards on West Foothill Boulevard in Upland constitute a cautionary tale. File them in the Be Careful What You Wish For category.

Location is everything. Several years ago when the cigarette companies still advertised on billboads, there was a large "Marlboro Country" billboard on the south side of the 60 fwy in east Los Angeles. Serving as an expansive backdrop to the billboard was Calvary Cemetery.

This is quite ugly. I don't think that Monclair allows billboards. Kudos to them for that.
