June 25, 2012 Are We There Yet?Filed under: Community, Members, News About ASI To many of us, I vividly remember sites like Weeki Watchee (a tourist attraction that featured “real” mermaids underwater) and The Lost Sea, a “secret” underground lake in Sweetwater, TN. My biggest regret: I missed seeing Nixon resign on TV after I’d spent a great deal of time watching all of the Watergate hearings after school each day. Instead of witnessing that historical moment on the tube, I was sitting in a restaurant in Birmingham, eating corn on the cob. Here at ASI, annual road trips are fast becoming a tradition for three Counselor® magazine editors who embarked today on an eight-day, 17-city cross-country quest to find the coolest workplaces in the industry. Melinda Ligos, Andy Cohen and Joe Haley are visiting companies from New York to Seattle and beyond for Counselor’s upcoming Best Places to Work issue, which will highlight the many ways the people in this industry have devised to light up their 9-5 lives. Their first stop: Axis Promotions in New York City, where they enjoyed a Monday morning breakfast party with bloody marys and mimosas. You can look for the Best Places issue this fall – but this week you can check out www.counselormag.com/counselortour for a running road trip blog and photos. And! Every time you tweet with the hashtag #counselortour, you’ll become eligible for a $500 prize. Wish Melinda, Andy and Joe good luck on their Ulysses-like odyssey and don’t forget — Let me know what road trip you’re taking this summer by posting a comment or e-mailing me here. I’m also on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. 3 CommentsLeave a Comment |
Hey, Tim…Weeki Watchee is in Florida, and it wasn’t a state park until several years ago. The mermaids are still there, tho.
Thanks for my editing error that dropped the part about Weeki Watchee being in Florida. I remembered that, plus a lot more: I wonder if the boat ride still includes seeing monkeys along the way?!?
Very nice site!
