Carmike Valley 8. 1700 Apperson Drive. Salem. 24153
Sunday we were supposed to go to the Nascar race in Martinsville. The weather was sketchy calling for rain and SNOW! We had 2 tickets already but needed to purchase 4 more. It was going to be a gamble not knowing how the weather would turn out and if the race would be cancelled due to rain so we decided to just give the 2 tickets to Ashlyn and her boyfriend and we went to the movies instead. We went and saw Noah. The boys and I thought it was pretty good, my husband said it was alright. I'm much easier entertained though I guess haha...anyways, we pulled up and noticed these workers hanging the O on Noah. Seems a little scary. The person who hung "Sabotage" must have had extraordinarily long arms!
Linking with Signs, Signs
I had the same thought when I saw your photo. Perhaps "Sabotage" was put up from a ladder below?
ReplyDeleteI never imagined that this is how they changed them.
ReplyDeleteSomeone must have mislaid the extension pole. Let's see, I wonder which of these two it was? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Son Of God, Noah and the Muppets all on the same marquee. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI worked at a drive in when I was in high school, we had to change the sign out by the highway using a ladder to climb up and then standing on a metal grate.
ReplyDeletethat must hurt bending over like that. i hope they can get the sign up & very quickly at that. ouch!! or maybe it is a good yoga pose? ( :
ReplyDeleteI love this... Strange jobs always fascinate me. Imagine in the job interview for this one they'd have to measure arms?
ReplyDeleteMy son and his wife were going to see Noah last night. Great catch on the sign photo. Apparently I have recently discovered I haven't a head for heights so even thinking about hanging those letters makes me dizzy :)
ReplyDeleteI would think a ladder would be in order as not only would it be easier to place the letters but you could get a better view of the overall sign.
ReplyDeletewow! i'd not want that job. dizzy is right!
ReplyDeleteOMG I have vertigo just looking at them lol! Could never do that either :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen marquee signs changed in quite this style. I'm not sure I would want that job, even if I do have relatively long arms. I've heard mixed reviews about Noah.
ReplyDeleteAs my mother-in-law would say, "You've got to hold your mouth 'just right'!"
ReplyDeleteSure glad I don't have to do that job and glad to see there's a second person there, just in case!

I would have thought a ladder would be used...
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Noah, but I'm planning on seeing the Captain America sequel tomorrow.
Doesn't look like the safest way to get the job done!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little concerned about the lack of a safety harness!
ReplyDeleteThough, my very first thought was that the Sabotage is better in the bottom location as otherwise it would read "Son of God Sabotage Muppets". That would not be popular.
oh that is funny! i should call them and have them change it! :D
DeleteCarmike must be national or at least regional. We have some here. They're still doing it old school!
ReplyDeleteYep, they're in a precarious position way up there. If their workers' comp insurer were to see that...it would not be good. Reminded me of the workers on the side of the road in Mexico, slashing the weeds away with hatchets. Barefoot!
ReplyDeleteI would not want that job!
ReplyDeleteI would not be hanging from the top of the building!
ReplyDeleteThey'd better watch out for the Muppets.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing!
ReplyDeleteHow the heck to do they do that upside down too?? How funny. You know you're in a small town when…..
