Clever "Mobile" Advertising

Have always loved the F.H. Furr trucks cruising around Northern Virginia and I finally caught one at a light. The door design on the back of these trucks is truly differentiating. Not sure it's enough to make me remember their name, but I sure remember the trucks!

Free Entertainment at Denver Airport (DIA)

Crusing through Denver International Airport, I spotted several interactive billboards by 1st Bank.

Scan the QR code and you can download sodoku, crosswords or a book! You need a smartphone, and most Blackberries and iPhones work. Each time I passed a billboard, someone was trying it. Lots of well-deserved press buzz too for the Boulder, CO agency that created it.

Laurel & Hardy are Swank in Cali

Spotted in the window of Swank Interiors in Palm Springs, CA, this display is two giant Stan & Ollie (Laurel & Hardy) heads chatting about mid-century modern furniture. Fun!

The store wasn't open on my 6 a.m. walk, but peeking inside, it looked like good stuff.
