Michael & Son billboard reactivated in Kensington

A digital billboard that stirred up a minor controversy last winter is back on in Kensington. The roadside sign is at the office of Michael & Son at 3511 University Boulevard West, and advertises the high-profile HVAC, plumbing, and electrical repair service provider. Some nearby residents had complained that light from the billboard was shining into their windows at night, and it was turned off at the end of March.
