Box Office Success

Furthering last week's investigative report on a local theater, today we address customer complaints of difficulty locating the Box Office. 

Our investigative team went undercover to ... well ... investigate. Let’s see what they found. (Apologies for the fuzzy images. Surreptitious photography is a messy business.)

Upon entering the first floor lobby, we're greeted with a straightforward directive:

In the elevator, all signs point to a united front:

We accidentally exit  on the 3rd floor and are greeted by this overly-excited sign:

What luck! There is a box office. 

But it's closed. 

We continue upward. On the 4th floor, we are again greeted by signage:

Well, we were looking for the Fantasticks, but beggars can't be choosers. 

We turn the corner:

Not another 30 ft. passes before:

We head to the bar; hearts pounding:

As promised, a left turn. What could be next:

For the first time "window" is invoked. We must be closing in:

An sure enough, we are. At last! The Box O....

Yes, it is the only place in the entire building where the sign reading "Box Office" is obscured from view.

Escape

Because being prepared is always better than being lucky. 

Today's entry is the fire escape plan for a nickel and dime shop in northern Pennsylvania. The entire shop is not much larger than my one-bedroom apartment. 

Favorite aspects: 

1. The continual arrows down an aisle, as if once you started running from the back of the store you might stop halfway, now confused as to the rest of your route. 

2. The poor sap who takes the righthand exit from the office, hurdling a counter to survive the impending danger.
