Six of the seven are within 200 feet of the Long Island Expressway (the elevated highway visible in the background). That proximity to a highway (in conjunction with them not advertising the business whose building they're attached to) is what makes them illegal, much like the billboard that collapsed onto the BQE a couple weeks ago.
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled about 7500 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Target practice?
