Regarding the idea of using the stove to support a table for a
guest
register. I think it is a good idea but when people come in they
face
the caboose chair and layouts and the stove woulod be behind them
in
kind of a dark corner. I think the stove is fine but we may need
to
move it to a more visible spot.<br>

I like the posters and I also like the black frame best. The
only
comment I have is that I would prefer to see the posters spaced
out a
bit on the wall, and we might even consider hanging three on the
main
entry wall and one behind the chair if it would be visible. We
could
experiment with the positioning. Just my preference but others
may
feel differently. Phil, thanks for researching this and putting
it
together. I think this art would really add a lot to the
atmosphere in
the entryway.<br>

<div>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).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.<span class="gmail-m_-7595195443990922429Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>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”.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please respond if this makes sense. If so,
I will order the
posters and get some frames to look at next Friday.</div>
