Rob Cockerman, of Cockeyed, is hosting a fun contest for our faltering economy:
Shuttered buildings are incredibly depressing, so I'm launching a plan to help liven up our neighborhood streets and remind everyone that economic recovery is just around the corner.
It's a contest. Create and print your own "Opening Soon" flier and tape it to the door of an empty retail, industrial or warehouse property.
Have a look at some of the entries.
