This will be a Russian bazaar with music, food, photos, and speakers including Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell.
I saw a comment on Twitter this morning about Comcast’s terrible new logo. If they want a logo that truly reflects their brand, it should immediately bring “waiting” to mind. As in, waiting in an endless line at their customer service center… waiting hours and hours for the service rep to show up for an appointment… waiting forever on hold to talk to a human on their customer service phone line. I experienced that last one earlier this week. Anything over 5 minutes on hold is unacceptable except when there’s a major network outage. I was on hold 22 minutes.
