Rise and fall
Rise and fall - perhaps something similar could symbolize these pictures. Empty and filled with posters poster pole. Billboard pole or poster pole - is that what this facility is called? I don't know its name even in my own language. But this is an extremely important facility - everything was announced here, these places carried all the information, everything most important. Even the newspapers did not carry such important things. Everything most important has been placed here.
Later, years ago, I remember the posters for theaters and various shows. This was their main function then - to inform about cultural events.
And today - what are they for today? Party posters and ads for quick loans, property deals and all sorts of other scams. That's what they're for today.
Therefore, is the second, empty picture the fall and the first the rise? I think it's quite the opposite.

Perhaps you're just searching for deeper meaning than there is. I suppose the county cleans it periodically! :)
That clock is probably my favorite piece of art in this city!
!DHEDGE
Oh yes, the clock. 🤭 I didn't want to mention it at all because I have another post about it in mind.
I think that, in principle, I have always been looking for another, deeper and different meaning than the obvious one. And who knows, it might make sense, really. And maybe not. Maybe it's just worth digging around and thinking a little more...
Here in my city, these sorts of places are filled with adverts for rooms to rent, abortion providers, penis enlarging products and tradtional herbalist “doctors“. Its all about priorities 🥴
That sounds really horrible! (such things to be announced/advertised in such places) But as you say - it's a matter of the region's priorities, indeed. 🤷♀️
