Bizarre Trend No. 325
I've traveled to San Diego and Knoxville on business in the last couple of weeks. And weirdly, both airports have something in common: Rocking chairs. Both had terminals with a couple of dozen olde-fashioned rocking chairs strewn about. Who knew? Apparently, this is the new trend to make airports seem homier and less take-off-your-shoes-and-spread-your-arms unpleasant. I'm hoping the trend will continue. Think of it: the Starbucks Automat, the duty-free five and dime store, and instead of wireless, free needlepoint!
At the Charlotte, SC airport recently I heard a tinkly piano version of the Carpenters playing on what I thought was the loudspeaker. Then the moving sidewalk carried me into an atrium where a woman was playing an actual Steinway grand.
