The only map that matters anymore, Google Maps: And BetterWorld Books isn’t listed, until you zoom in further, and then it’s listed at a different location (RedPost’s World HQ is inside the bookstore). Weird. I’d imagine there are more Google searches for them then for us…
Here’s a screenshot of an IM conversation I had with Missy, one of the employees at BetterWorld Books’ retail store in Goshen, discussing their RedPost/Sign which we just recently moved to a more visible location right by the cash register: Missy’s been working on making new, simple posters to attract attention to their new bargain [...]
This is a cool story about a local school district investing in wind…because it’ll save themmoney over the next 25 years (probably more so with rising oil costs): The board first heard of the opportunity in January when Performance Services, an engineering and construction company that specializes in sustainability projects, said in January that public [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday was recycling day here at RedPost, with ADEC coming to pick up our e-waste and BetterWorld Books emptying out our book recycling bin we host. ADEC picked up 7 CPUs, 12 TVs, 22 CRTs, 24 printers, 10 VCR/DVD players/stereos, 3 microwaves and a host of other electronics. BetterWorld Books collected well over 100 books [...]
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 [...]
We upgraded the RedPost/Sign at Maple City Health Care Clinic from this: To this, a 26″ Sign/Kit (26″ LCD + fit-PC2): MCHCC just completed a massive renovation and second floor addition to their facility. It’s a huge improvement, with much better traffic flow, a larger waiting room, and new carpet/paint (no more wallpaper!). The new [...]
We just posted this ad across the RedPost/Goshen network: Check it out next weekend, right after First Fridays, of course.
This summer, RedPost developed a Ruby on Rails website for Downtown Goshen. We just went live last week — you can check it out here. A good start, but like all Rails apps, lots of room to grow! Some of the features of the website: lists detailed information on over 14 events held in downtown [...]
Last night, on my way home from work, I took this photo. I’ve helpfully circled the kiosk where we have a RedPost installed: Isaiah and I joined Dave Pottinger, who’s almost 80 and in much better shape than most 40yo’s, in rotating the kiosk so that the screen faces the street; before, it was facing [...]
