It's not the friendliest of places. If we can make money this way, I think it doesn't sound so bad. I mean, I don't mind seeing Apple's advertisements at the El, as long as the fare doesn't go up, like the parking meters did. And as long as we're getting a fair deal for what we're selling (also like the parking meters). But I want to know more about what you think, Laura. Is it a good idea for us to do stuff like this? Or is there a scary downside that I'm not seeing? The Wilson red line stop could really use some help. It’s not the friendliest of places.
