The photo above is from one of those changeable LED boards that you see in malls, convention centers...and in this case, the Cincinnati Airport, Concourse C. There's a bunch of them all over the place.
These signs are rather large - maybe 6' wide. To strengthen such a large display, metal cross pieces run horizontally and vertically, giving the signs a cool '80s 'video wall' look. I appreciated the touch of nostalgia - made me remember Cyndi Lauper, neon and people tying sweaters around their necks. Aack.
Anyway, most of the displays looked great - one hardly noticed the cross pieces until the above message popped on screen.
With a name like Christ Hospital, they should be running better numbers than 3 for 8...or at least let the graphic designer see the display ahead of time.
But then again, it got me to stare at the message, take a picture and get to know the rest of my delayed-passenger buddies at Gate 32. A shared laugh always seems to cure ills.
