Users personalize their messages by choosing a retro soundtrack, adding a famous movie one-liner, or writing their own text — all integrated into a short, engaging video. Retro Messages are sent via text, email, or any connected app, a memorable alternative to standard messaging.
Experience the Golden Age of American Billboard Advertising
This latest update introduces a mesmerizing "drive-through view" of Early American Billboard Advertising, highlighting iconic billboards that once defined Times Square. Among the most notable is Douglas Leigh's famous Camel Cigarettes billboard, which featured a smoker exhaling perfect smoke rings every four seconds, using steam from the Claridge Hotel’s heating system. Installed in 1941, this sign became a symbol of Times Square's vibrant, ever-evolving cityscape. 1. 2.
