This street art find by Untapped Cities reader Nicole Bernier is on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE) in Williamsburg Exit 33, McGuiness and Humboldt Street exit. Most people passing it probably just wish they weren’t sitting in traffic, but we like the provocative nature of this typeface street art placed on one of the many empty billboards that have dotted major NYC highways since the economic downturn. Amazingly, “I bet you wished you,” has been up since last year.
