The vertical banners on utility polls [sic] along Pratt Street downtown are still promoting the Preakness, which was almost 6 weeks ago in Baltimore.

Cathleen Basham, Chief Operating Officer of the Baltimore office of Promotion and The Arts says typically the city will take down events banners right after an event, assuming there is another event that can be promoted.

Basham says what has happened in the past month is that her office is in a transition period from one banner coordinator to another which has delayed the removal of the Preakness banners.
