Montgomery County's Draconian sign regulations include a total ban on billboards. Longtime residents may recall some of the locations that once sported them, such as Burton's gas station alongside the Chessie System railroad trestle over Bradley Boulevard near Arlington Road (now the Capital Crescent Trail bridge). As usual, businesspeople have to figure ways to evade all the Marxist totalitarian red tape of Montgomery County's moribund centrally-planned economy. One is now tooling around downtown Bethesda: a mobile billboard. Can one of the few ultra-wealthy residents who remain in Bethesda and Chevy Chase hire this truck and have it loop through statistics like "Zero major new corporate headquarters attracted to Montgomery County in over 25 years," current homicide and violent crime totals, County Council annual salaries and total taxpayer dollars outlaid to fill their cars with free gas (did you know they get free gas at your expense?), "Number of Olive Gardens and Cracker Barrels in Montgomery County: Zero," a list of highways canceled by the County Council, among others? Heckuva job, Brownie!

Now that just about everyone's walking around with a smartphone (and has a computer at home and/or in the office) is the lack of billboards cluttering up the area really such a problem?
Can't wait for the slip & fall attorney billboards.
When I have to compete in busy traffic (as usual) with these advertisers it results in my boycotting them altogether and usually a nasty phone call and emails, what's next rolling PA systems like other third world countries?
Nothing screams success than an Olive Garden. Many consider this the new Tiffany’s.
Why would “ultra-wealthy residents” whine about the lack of Olive Garden or Cracker Barrel restaurants?
What highways and in which locations were proposed and not approved?
I remember those well. I saw this the other night outside Andy's on E-W Hwy. Very odd and hope they go away and quick.
12:17: Rockville Freeway, I-370 extension to Dulles, Montrose Parkway East, M-83 Upcounty, Northwest Freeway in Bethesda, and North Central Freeway and Northern Parkway in Silver Spring.
Only in the mind of a Marxist Maga like Dyer.
So low-class.
You had me at Marxist 😂
More unnecessary vehicles on the road, just what we need... WTH?
