RedPost/Goshen: Spring is here!

March 22nd, 2010

Every year, we see a big uptick in ads posted on our 12-Sign community advertising network around Goshen. This spring is no different — in Jan/Feb, we average around 5-7 posters at time. Right now, we’re up to 12 with more scheduled and waiting. A couple I’d like to point out: I’m on a panel [...]

Fire & Ice 2010

January 3rd, 2010

For the second time in a month, the little town of Goshen made it into the Chicago Trib with a short mention of our 3rd annual Fire & Ice Festival. Here’s a photo of the RedPost ice sculpture, an attempt at recreated the CTA Bus Tracker logo: It’s kinda hard to see and not that well [...]

September 27th, 2009

If anyone in Goshen has ever complained there’s nothing to do here, they simply need to look at one of the RedPost signs around town to know there’s actually way too much to do here.

Newest RedPost/Goshen Location

February 27th, 2009

Wednesday, Greg and I installed a RedPost/Sign at the County Seat Cafe (UrbanSpoon, Yelp), as a part of the RedPost/Goshen neighborhood of signs, which advertise for upcoming events in the area.

Fire & Ice: A Ruby Gem

January 3rd, 2009

It’s been 11 days since I last blogged — my longest blogging break ever since starting this blog on February 6, 2007. I spent a few days with family, had a great New Year’s Eve here in Goshen and worked throughout…I just didn’t feel like blogging. It’s a nice break though, between the “old, outdated, [...]

This Innovation Thing

December 9th, 2008

We’re prepping a grant app and getting into the question of what exactly is this innovation thing. It reminds me of my gen ed humanities class in college where we dealt with “What is Art?” Consider each of these items by themselves.
