    Joe, place based advertising took  the major hit from Covid 19 and is still way below its usual ad spend levels. According to the OAAA website, Place based ad dollars for 2021 totalled only $333 million but if you go back to 2019 and 2015 they amounted to $984 million and $879 million, respectively. On the positive side, billboard adbertising---which represents the lion's share of OOH advertising----  actually  exceeded its 2019 total by a small margin.
