The Target ad was also painted over on Hicks Street in Carroll Gardens (Lost City)

    i wonder if that's part of the "gamble" with these hand painted ads- hoping that the building will keep it up after your term is up, giving you essentially free advertising.

    you pay more for the hand painting but if it stays up longer it's worth it. or perhaps i'm overthinking it (likely).

    Still confounds me that Target advertises so much here but there is no store in Manhattan.
