>>     Attached is a pdf with a proposal for putting up four 36”x24”
>>     “arty” posters of the four major California railroads. The idea
>>     is to change the look of the North Entrance after the great paint
>>     job and make it much cleaner and modern looking, but with art
>>     that is evocative of the golden age of passenger travel by rail.
>>     These will represent the four primary (Class 1) railroads focused
>>     to California: SF/ATSF, SP, UP, and the WP. The posters are of
>>     signature passenger trains of each railroad, generally in the art
>>     deco to realism period (not photos). I think there is a story to
>>     be told using them, some thoughts in the pdf. The four posters
>>     shown in the pdf are from eBay and are $35 each (free shipping)
>>     in a 24”x36” poster configuration. So four posters would be $140.
>>     If anyone has other poster options for the railroads, please
>>     suggest (or if you have a good one at home).
>>
>>     Also shown are three frame options from Michaels. They range from
>>     $110 to $154 for the four frames (after discounts). I personally
>>     thing the black frame that is about 1.25 inches wide is best and
>>     those are $127 for four, so the total for the posters and frames
>>     is $267.
>>
>>     After discussing it Friday after the business meeting, there
>>     seemed to be general agreement this makes sense. Much of the
>>     existing artwork is either faded or wrinkled. Putting up a bunch
>>     of misc. art or a bunch of Orchard things is going to look
>>     cluttered. This will be a very clean and new look and will be
>>     very noticeable to anyone who has been coming for the last few
>>     years (especially Jerome). I think the investment is a good one
>>     for the new look it will give our “lobby”.
>>
>>     Please respond if this makes sense. If so, I will order the
>>     posters and get some frames to look at next Friday.
