Drat. Scooped on actual local news by a national feed. How often does something blog-worthy actually happen in cBus anyway?
And, sadly, as I've been trapped in the 'burbs all weekend, I can't even speak to it firsthand, but local rag Alive (via MacDailyNews) is buzzing about a giant iPod smack in the middle of downtown.
The music is a live feed and synched with a tini little pod at the pub HQ. Peds can even go online to check out the song they just heard and vote for their favorite.
I believe this music monster replaced the very buzz-worthy Mini Cooper billboard featuring a diecast car in a slingshot with the tag "Goliath lost." That particular installation had huge fans. (Agency: Taxi?)
In related news - downtown is really becoming an advertiser's paradise. From the Nationwide "Life comes at you fast" buses to the huge billboards to a planned "Times Square" development at Broad and High, our local agencies should be loving this ad-guy-friendly haven...
wow, really cool.
