We describe the structure, content, and neighborhood characteristics of outdoor alcohol advertisements (n=246) in innercity neighborhoods in ten U.S. cities from 2003 to 2005. We conducted observations of alcohol advertisements on billboards, transit shelters, and bus benches in all ten cities to describe the structure and content of outdoor alcohol advertising. We also created geo-spatial maps to describe the neighborhood characteristics where alcohol billboards were located in San Francisco, CA and Atlanta, GA. Alcohol advertisements were more common on billboards than transit shelters or bus benches, usually featured beer products, emphasized product quality, had a discreet or moderate (vs. blatant) visual impact, and rarely used human models.

But one organization is actually doing something about incivility: Baltimore Neighborhoods Inc., one of the oldest and largest fair-housing organizations in the U.S.
President Barack Obama has made clear that there is no greater economic policy than one that invests in our children's future and helps America out-educate the world. But that's not possible if we leave a whole generation of children behind in our poorest neighborhoods. Today, more than 10 million people live in neighborhoods surrounded by disinvestment, failing schools, troubled housing and little opportunity.

The fact that we can predict health, economic and educational outcomes of children based on their ZIP codes is a tragedy.
From Colorado Springs' swankiest neighborhoods to its middle- class subdivisions to El Paso County's rural areas, 2010 was a tough year for home prices in the Pikes Peak region.

Federal data show that air and water pollution are declining in Allegheny County's neighborhoods, but the area still has a long way to go before it's comparable to most of the rest of the country, residents and environmental activists say.
