South Boston's giant smiley face

By adamg on Sat, 02/20/2016 - 2:26pm

Joseph reports:

Makes my morning every day as I see this from my window but I can't imagine what it is. It's facing Andrew Square off of Dot Ave by the Marr equipment rental.

Any clues?

Neighborhoods:

...anything about it, but I've read online elsewhere that's it's there.
Can't tell who owns the billboard...it's blurry.
Can anyone see what company it is?

Beat me to the punch line! Rorschach: [reading from journal] Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Boston Market chicken carcasses all over the streets this morning, tire tread all over,kedd. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of spacesavers and when the snow finally melts over, all the spacesavers will still remain. The accumulated filth of all their Dunkies foam cups and Newps will gather up to our waists and all the politicians and labor unions will look up and shout "help us!" And I'll look up and whisper, "Nah kedd, Bruins are on in ten.."

didn't one of the guys in NKOTB used to wear a t shirt with a smiley face on it?

I know this forum loves the ol' smiley face killer conspiracy theory.

Zach Marr is still missing.

This billboard is on top of Marr Scaffolding.

There has to be a record of who paid for that ... right.

Sounds absolutely conspiratorial. Yup.

Acknowledging that doesn't make you a tin-foil-hatter.
