Milwaukee commuters will now have to rely on the Web for the daily flavor forecast from Kopp's Frozen Custard.
Yes, it's true, that somewhat iconic I-43 North Kopp's billboard that proudly displays the "Flavor of the Day" is in its final days.
Kopp's didn't renew the sign, owned by Clear Channel Outdoor, and, next week, Concordia University will hang its promotional hat at the space located near the Capitol Drive exit.
The billboard, featuring a big blue circle with driving directions to the Kopp's Glendale location, also scrolled the flavor of the day.
How will commuters handle this? Simple. Like nearly everything else in life, they'll turn to Web.
Kopps.com has the Milwaukee restaurant's flavor forecast updated daily. You also can follow Kopp's on Twitter.
