Now This Got My Attention

On my way home from the likemind coffee meetup, I saw a rat in the Loop. Where it is not unusual to see one, this version was over 10 feet tall! I snapped this picture with my Treo, and couldn't help but walk up to the men standing by it to find out what it was doing there.

It turns out there was some demolition going on in the building, and the rat was put up by a union to protest the use of non-union workers. As I was talking with them another person came up to ask.

I'd say this was more effective than those kids that try to stop me every day.

Mike, most times, business success is directly attributable to getting, then keeping the attention of your prospect or customer! I recently wrote an article on this very subject.

The rat obviously got my attention too!

The rat has a Flickr group too… sounds like a national campaign?
