Our friend Rob Cockerham over at Cockeyed has issued a challenge to pranksters around the world. He writes:
The economy is pitiful right now. Both where I live and where I work, I’m seeing a bunch of businesses closing their doors forever.
Shuttered buildings are incredibly depressing, so I’m launching a plan to help liven up our neighborhood streets and remind everyone that economic recovery is just around the corner.
It’s a contest. Create and print your own “Opening Soon” flier and tape it to the door of an empty retail, industrial or warehouse property. Email a picture and you are in the contest! Include a description of the location and hazards if you would like.
Check out his site for details on how you can participate.
I love the idea. I have already sent it out to some friends of mine so we can have our own contest. We will submit our entries if they are worth looking at.
cool project – if you’d bring it up a little bigger I am convinced it could become an attracting idea for the city development department… give it a bigger chance!!
