A lobby is like a garage. No matter how many times you clean it out, it just morphs into a mess again. Maybe “obstacle course” is more like it.
When we moved into our fresh new retail spot, we created an appealing lobby. We had a couple of free-standing displays, chairs, interesting samples on the walls, and even a beautiful plant named Amelio. For the first few months we watered Amelio, but the chairs migrated to our office cubicles. Within a year, we had added more great samples to the walls. After two years, some of our displays were obsolete – but we didn’t much care. Amelio was a little sickly, too. The third year we set aside a weekend to plan how to renovate our lobby. The fourth year we removed some of the obsolete displays from year two and said we'd renovate soon.
This begins the fifth year. We have a dream. Maybe we’ll get started on it next week.
