At every metro stop and throughout the maze of metro tunnels you’ll find large billboards promoting a huge range of products, services and entertainment opportunities. These are usually “framed” by tiles and are made up of multiple approx. 2’x3’ “wallpaper” sections that together make up the ad.
While waiting for my train in the Temple metro stop today, a worker got off the train going the other direction. He carried a bucket full of water, ladder, brush, wallpaper rectangles (i.e., sections of a new billboard to be posted) and a few other tools and began unfolding, wetting, then refolding them (sticky side in), making a pile of the new sections to replace the ad currently there. Wonder how many of these he has to do in a day! Wonder how sick he gets of spending all day in one metro tunnel or train or another. I’ll have to go back tomorrow to see the new ad.
