The Many Images of "EsterFranklin"

It's very interesting to see a blog composed primarily of pictures that, while they may not mean anything to someone who is reading David's blog, it's clearly very significant to David...and it's very interesting (and often amusing) to learn why. He took a picture of the "Wonder Bread" sign, for example, because it's his "favorite sign off of 670". It's even more significant to him because he used to pass it every night on the way home from a previous second shift job. While we're on the subject, why do businesses seem so slow to fix their respsective signs when a defect arises? A sign is supposed to be the face of that company, the first thing a prospective customer sees when considering where to spend his/her money. So wouldn't it be in the business' best interest to keep said sign in the best condition possible? Just a thought....

As for the chairs in this particular picture ("No Seat For Me"), I have a solution that would satisfy everyone...rather than resort to the other extreme of having all left-handed chairs, leaving the right-handed in the same position the left-handed seem to be in. In our lecture classroom (Lazenby, Room 21), all of the seats are equipped with retractable desks...typically on the right side of each. My solution: why not equip all such seats with retractable desks on both sides of each seat? This way, a student can sit wherever he/she wants, and pull out the appropriate desk based on whichever is his/her dominant hand. That's almost too simple, isn't it? I wonder if this idea will ever be used, though...it would take quite a bit of time and expense to fit current chairs with the additional retractable desks, but future buildings could designed with the double-retractable desks from the beginning. For example...the new Ohio Union? I doubt it will happen, though....
