pop star

For years there used to be a an advertising here with a top model . . . a smile against the grey sky . . . :))) . . . In the 'old' days, they were painted by hand here on the fasades . . . and there were some famous ones . . . like the one fromRigas Jaunes Teaters . . . . so it's hard to beat that.

The bank got the best place . . . and someone must have thought that top models and banks are not your nr. 1 combination . . . but this famous spot without a warm smile . . . so in the end they simply left all the fancy tinkering that advertising is . . . and simply explained;

"Advertising with top models?
. . .
We are not pop stars.
We are a bank"


And Heidi Klum is tucked away in another corner of town. . . .
