The end of advertecture. As of this morning, the 20-story H&M ad previously wrapping the point of the Flatiron Building has been removed. The city was already on the building owners' case, but rumor inside the building is that a certain corporate tenant whose name rhymes with "bolts drink" sat down with the building's owners for a frank and full exchange of views.

I'm only guessing, but offhand, I'd say that if you plan to hang giant ads off of your landmark high-rise commercial building, you might want to not cover the windows of the exact part of the building where your tenants' biggest of corporate wigs all have their offices. I'm just sayin'. [01:22 PM]
