SIGN OF THE TIMES: Travelers on I-79 North had some new scenery to brighten their commute this week
when this Slippery Rock University billboard went live. The board is
part of the University's overall
branding campaign to raise awareness and complements
the "I Rock" television commercials running on Comcast
and Armstrong cable, and print
ads in regional publications. The board is located south of the Slippery
Rock exit off northbound I-79.
