Today's Rain, Sponsored By ADM, This Evening's Laughter of Your Children, Sponsored by Montana Jeep/Chrystler - 30% Year End Reductions Now!

Today's news has a story, http://www.wral.com/news/state/story/2221654/, of a town contemplating corporate sponsorship of public property.

There's a potential problem with that: conflict of interest. What happens when the sponsor of the local police station, library, and high school doesn't want a certain zoning action or city development to go forward?

However, beyond that, it led me to think of the following civic arenas.

  • Downy Soft Public Library
  • Harrison Ford/Nissan Community College
  • Northside ADT Police Department
  • Mercy Dove Tylenol Albertson's General Hospital
  • ATT Global Telecommunications Fire Station
  • Spongebob Squarepants Eats McDonalds Elementary School
  • Abercrombie and Fitch High School for the Arts
