Adiós LA

Breaking up is hard to do. Artist and designer Jon Jackson recently said adiós to LA, the city he called home for years, with a series of billboards with 5 classic breakup lines we’ve heard or used at one point in our lives. What a creative yet expensive way to end a relationship! I spotted one of these billboards back in January and thought, WTF? Well, it all makes sense now.

    This is also possible if they offer SEO as part of their
    service. Good providers instead hire highly trained specialists from their own country to ensure you receive the specialized care
    you deserve. There are thousands of web-hosting service providers and all of
    them claim to be the best.
