We’ve been busy at work in the kitchen wanting to make sure our meal is perfect. Okay, really it just took us awhile to find the can opener! Happy Thanksgiving.

The World Famous Falstaff Beer Sign
It’s was a part of the New Orleans skyline for many years. And while the Falstaff Brewery may be long gone, people demanded that the sign be restored to it’s former glory. After completely rebuilding the sign a few years ago, it once again lights the New Orleans skyline…
Please note, there’s no need to adjust the sound. There is no audio track in this video.
Strolling Through The French Quarter
You never know what to expect when you’re in the Big Easy. You could be walking down the street, and encounter an impromptu parade. I love New Orleans. It truly is a town like no other…
It’s Hot Dog Day
It’s National Hot Dog Day! Sadly, not every ‘body’ will be celebrating!
It’s Corndog Day!
Today is National Corndog Day! Every year, on the first Saturday of the NCAA basketball tournament we celebrate one of my favorite foods…the corn dog. And when I think of corn dogs, I think of that (to me) famous scene from the movie ‘Semi-Pro’ with Will Ferrell and Matt Walsh
Ghosts From The Past
I’ve been intrigued by advertising my entire life. That would probably explain why I’ve spent my career in the fields of marketing and broadcasting. And we all know just how much advertising has changed in our lifetime.
When I close my eyes I’m often transported back to a simpler time back before the internet and for that matter before we had color TV. One type of advertising that I’ve always been intrigued by is the wall mural. I guess you could say that the mural was the precursor to the modern billboard. And for some reason, I’m sure a logical one, they faded away… literally. Today the ones that remain are what we fondly call ghost signs. I’ve mentioned my love of ghost signs previously (see some great ghosts HERE)
One of the companies that is known nationwide for their use of murals back in the ‘good ole days’ was Coca Cola. So naturally I spend a lot of my free time chasing the ghosts of Coca Cola’s past. Here’s a short video that shows you some of the beautiful Coca Cola murals that are now just ghosts from the past….
