Between politics, arts, radio, and local business, Boston has always had a lot of statements to make. In the days before the Internet, billboards were a good way to advertise and be creative.

Some of them are funny, some of them contain important messages, and a few of them would likely never run in this day and age. Take a stroll down memory lane, and this time, stop to look at the billboards.
