Meers on Primetime?

I found out a while back that the recently completed offices for Meers Marketing, although not a recipient of an ‘07 MOD award (more to come) will be featured in a television commercial for Sprint. Local production company, Bark Productions will be shooting the spot. I’m not sure if it will be getting regional or national air time, I don’t know even know when they are shooting it, but I’ll be sure to post details as they arise.

Sprint Center Grand Opening

On the way back from The Boley this afternoon we took a few minutes to peak our heads in the new Sprint Center and take a lap or two around the concourse. The tickets for admission for opening day were free of charge, however, the lady handing them out was very adamant about the “suggested” five dollar donation to get in.
