I want to meet the person who came up with this and got it approved, and get their autograph.

I saw Priya Parker post a very similar photo on Substack recently! She said, “naming it is a form of hosting us.”

every time I see it, a Pavlovian desire for frozen custard enters my body

The Milwaukee airport is full of gems, including this sign, a great used book store, a flight museum, and the shortest security lines ever

i was here years ago and loved this. every time I go through another security line, I always say “recombobulation area” to myself. a classic!

Ha! That’s my favorite sign and I think every airport should call it that.
