Chicago Loud on Billboards


To those who may have a need and be so inclined, be loud

To those who may have a need and be so inclined, try SKYN

To those who may have a need and be so inclined, open it

After traveling, consulting and living in the Middle East from 2002 to 2011, I found my return to the US to be a curious experience.  For instance, I walked from the Chicago Union Station to a luncheon meeting near LaSalle and Grand, and ran into sizable billboard ads that I would never see in the Middle East.

Except maybe that first ad.  Women in the Middle East are truly a fashionable lot, and this photo of a young lady is demure enough to pass censors there.  Condoms and alcohol can be had, as they're available in plenty enough of stores, but such bold advertisements are a no-no.
