On almost every street corner of my "up and coming" South Philly neighborhood, local "entrepreneurs" - the kind who buy houses for cash or run Medicare scams - have decided that the best way to advertise is to post ugly and illegal signs on every utility pole and street sign in sight.
I don't know who started this advertising arms race. Maybe it was one of the companies who will buy my house for cash. Maybe it was the person who wants to commit insurance fraud by buying diabetic test strips (presumably to sell them on some sort of black market).
