A sign of how bad things are getting??

You know things are starting to get bad when huge signs for Bail Bondsmen start popping up on the local RTA!!

While visiting San Diego last year, I was amazed at all the bail bond locations on every other corner....and thought, I'm glad I don't see stuff like that near my home.

I had the displeasure of seeing that sign on the RTA passing by me on Detroit & Warren this morning. <sigh> I guess when there's the need.....

I don't know, I kind of like that guy. What's his name? There's a drawing of him on the bus. JT Bails or something.

Probably the same thing I thought in San Diego.

I've never noticed them before.

My favorite is the sign that offers bail bonds and same day job placement.

I LOVE that ad....I laugh everytime I see it!

"AT Bails gots keys to the jails"....

Just classic.

I know I've got a camera phone pic of it around here somewhere.

There Marketing campaign does not stop at buses. While pumping gas at the raceway of filler stations I noticed there half scratched off slogan right on the pump.

I'm pretty sure it says AT Bails has the keys to the jails.

I kept looking at the hat he's wearing. Maybe it's his trademark.

Sounds like an indicator of a good marketing campaign.

Maybe he's using an ad campaign to jack up his business. There is a saturation of bondsmen in Cleveland.

I actually drove by his office the other day on my way to a meeting, it's right on the corner of E 55th and Broadway. Definitely should stop by.
