Airport Eatery + Lucy = Sucess!

In January, I reported about how the Kenai Muncipal Airport in Alaska planned to redecorate its dining room with images of Lucille Ball and other pop culture icons.

Guess what? The Peninsula Clarion reports that the dining room is now open and a BIG success due in part to its snappy, vintage decor:

As planned when the McBrides signed their five-year operating agreement with the city, the airport cafe is decorated with photos and memorabilia of celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Elvis Presley, James Dean, The Three Stooges, Lucille Ball, and Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

Lucy Takes Flight In Alaska

The Kenai Municipal Airport in Alaska will soon have plenty of famous folks hanging around. Lucille Ball, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and other admired celebrities will have their likenesses added to the dining room decor of the airport's restaurant.

The plan to update the restaurant's decor still needs to be approved by the city council, but if the plans go through travelers will be able to dine with Lucy every day of the week.
