Is it Spring again, already? Must be as the Michigan countryside has been covered with these "Your Trip Begins…" billboards. If they haven’t placed one in your front yard, you can see a few examples here. I’ve gotten used to this annual adver-spurt grasping for the almighty tourism dollar, but I knew things had gotten out of hand when I was driving in Chicago a few weeks back and saw one of the signs downtown. The placement was actually quite good as it gave the illusion from the Skyway of being more prominent than ANYTHING in the Chicago skyline. Whoever placed the sign certainly knew his/her business.
Now Michigan is a fabulous state, and it is, in fact, a lovely vacation destination if you know where to to, but I do believe they should offer a little truth in advertising…
Nice one – story of my life! I like the name of her computer, though I’m a Wac/Pear user (nah – I’m not that smart).
I wonder if those billboards truly have impact on tourism, kind of like that guy on “Prison Break” carrying around the Holland picture he saw years ago…
I just can’t seem to draw a computer without playing with the name.
No idea if the billboards affect tourism. It is a nice state though when the weather is good…
