A billboard in Kensington that some nearby residents complained was keeping them up at night appears to be switched off after dark for now. Last night it was inactive. Of course, this defeats the purpose of the billboard, as it was most effective and visible during the nighttime hours. The residents had said light from the Michael & Son billboard was shining into the windows of their homes. It is located at the Michael & Son office at 3511 University Boulevard W., near the intersection with Newport Mill Road.
Yes Capt. Obvious, the objective of this complaint was to eliminate the purpose of the billboard. This type of advertising is a rare commodity in MoCo now days. Considering the amount of non-print media infused by this business, a billboard is just overkill. The county should void the permit for this use.
