Commuting on I-15 today? Well then you are in for a visually pleasing treat! I-15 is littered with billboards…from Omniture to the Humane Society (Make animal torture a felony!) to Xango to UFirst to Dirty Joe’s Adult Novelty Store (by the the Provo Center Street exit…in case you were wondering), driving is never [...]
