What’s With This Wyoming/Colorado Billboard?
If you're not paying attention to the news this billboard will confuse you.
Southbound Interstate 25 at the Wyoming-Colorado border:
“Venezuela Ahead, Be Prepared!”
Several listeners to Wyoming's Morning Talk Radio Show sent me this picture.
It reminds me of that bumper sticker,
Colorado, Wyoming's Mexico.
The Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua had taken over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
That's what you get when you make yourself a sanctuary city or state.
At the bottom of the billboard, you'll see the name of a law firm.
That firm was hired by the apartment complex to represent the apartment complex
Aurora Police Department and city officials there deny the complex was taken over but the law firm disagrees.
This is not the only Wyoming billboard that will get your attention with a political statement.
A few months ago a Casper, Wyoming realtor put up a clever billboard featuring Trump and Biden.
More recently, Biden dropped out of the race.
Right away, folks in the area were saying that he would have to either take down the billboard featuring Biden or remake it featuring Harris.
Well, he remade it on CY Avenue in Casper, Wyoming.
This clever real estate agent had an attention-getting idea.
Here is what the old billboard originally looked like
The sign works for folks on both sides of the political spectrum.
It plays into a type of hysteria that we hear every election cycle.
Inevitably there are those who cry out,
IF "INSTER NAME HERE" IS ELECTED, I'M MOVING TO CANADA!
Funny thing, they never move.
Many of us wish they would, but they don't.
On my morning radio talk show, I run a fake commercial offering help to move these people out.
I'll show up with volunteers, and a moving van, as soon as the election is decided. No cost to them whatsoever. Please, just GO!
Nobody ever takes me up on the offer.
What I never thought of was selling their home.
This real estate agent is willing to help with that.
Sure, it's all tongue-in-cheek- which is too bad.
They're not actually trying to make a political statement.
They're not even choosing sides, which is why you see both Biden and Trump on the billboard.
They're just trying to get a laugh and make us remember his company at the same time.
This billboard has hosted many eye-catching realtor signs, including agents dressed up as Marvel superheroes.
It makes sense that, in the midst of a controversial political season, the billboard ad would reflect it.
That makes me wonder: what do you think they are going to post after the election?
How about,
You promised, so let's get you moved.
