We don't have photos yet; this is the closest thing to one.

The pin is the GPS point on this board's IDOT permit, so the street address is approximate and the sign may sit a little off from it. A permit can also stay on file after a sign comes down. Tip: choose See more dates in Street View to check earlier images. Don't see it? Tell us.

Revenue modeled from traffic × visibility at a $7 CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions/month — the standard way outdoor ad space is priced) benchmark, clamped to real Chicago market ranges by road type (source: public OOH rate data, see Methodology). Valuation assumes a 5× annual-revenue multiple (rough rule of thumb, not a real appraisal or listing).

Effective CPM works out to $7.00 per 1,000 modeled monthly views, vs. the $7 Chicago benchmark — at model benchmark — fairly priced.
