One more thing, if you want to see a bigger photo of the tire I have it posted on my personal photo blog – PassionatePhoto.com.

Thanks for a bigger pic. I’m not sure I see the tire in the post. By the way, interesting story.

I’m glad you liked it Manop, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

That’s pretty neat. What started out as advertising has become a photo op for tourists and visitors in that area. What a great way to spread some free advertising by creating a landmark!

Hi Kristi, speaking of a photo op for tourists and visitors, as a side note, many are upset with local and MI state police. Anyone caught stopping to photograph the tire are chased away. I’m not sure why but I think they should capitalize on the monument and build a pull off area and welcome visitors. Especially with the very bad reputation of Detroit right now.

nice story and very interesting idea on the MI state police/government capitalizing on it.

Just glad Detroit was not known for hemorrhoid products. But, then again I guess the current design could be adapted… But then it would be on the Beltway in Washing ton. LOL

Hi Camping Chair, Wow, you slammed the Washington Beltway! Actually, I know the area pretty well and I have to agree. LOL

Wow, that’s some tire! Pretty neat… I agree with you, they should definitely build a little pull off area for visitors to stop and take pictures. It’s quite the attraction.

That’s absolutely crazy. Why would they want to do that unless stopping to take a photo created a traffic hazard?

Hi Sire, Stopping there could cause a traffic hazard the way it’s setup now but a cheap pull off area could fix that easy enough.

Hi Brenda, It is pretty cool. Wouldn’t it be a cool thing to own? I would sell monthly ads on it. 5,000/month would get your image/message on the hub cap.

There you go mate. Hire a bulldozer, do the work and set up a little area for people to pull over and take photos. Perhaps you can sell coffee and refreshments while your at it with souvenirs on the side. Wait a sec, maybe I should come over and set it up. You reckon the council will donate some land?

Hey Brian,
On your blog homepage, all of your posts seem to start with something like this…

tweetmeme_url = ‘http://extremeezine.com/extreme-advertising-turned-landmark/’;tweetmeme_source = ‘ExtremeEzine’;

I clicked thorough on this post, and it looks fine, but you may want to look at your homepage. I’m using Firefox. ~ Steve

Thanks Steve, It’s the TweetMeme Button plugin. I may need to remove the plugin if I can’t figure out how to fix it on the index page. It seems to work everywhere else but the shows the code on my front page. I appreciate the heads-up.

Hey Brian,
You’re welcome. Looks like it’s still a problem on the front (index page), and gets in the way of reading the post summary.

I moved the ReTweet button to the bottom of each post. That seems to have solved the problem.
