Jude and I took a walk over to Celindy's this afternoon to feed her kitties. Such a beautiful day outside - snow melting, people walking the streets without toques or mittens and a quiet air. With bebe squiggling in the carrier, twisting his head to stare up at the trees, I took notice of the new "Corydon Cool" banners.
And really?? This is the best you could come up with? The point of these banners is to help the public form an opinion of the area. They may not always reflect the reality of the space but usually portray someone's "vision". Well, the most exciting "vision" the Corydon Biz has for this area is........ *drumroll please* ...............
A cartoon middle-aged woman surrounded by shopping bags. Really. She's holding bags with various items presumably all the great shopping you can do on the strip. The animated drawing isn't current or interesting - it looks like a really bad early 90s cartoon. In fact, it looks like ClipArt (remember that from your old school projects?). And she's not even fashionable or hip at all with her boxy shirt and slacks and "Corydon Cool" emblazoned across the banner.
I was looking for a picture of them to include but can't locate anything online so you'll have to wait until I break out my camera... or take a stroll down Corydon yourself. What do you think of this lame effort from Corydon BIZ?
