I recycle/re-purpose as much as possible and work hard at my job so I can pay my bills, provide a home for my family, and save for my daughter’s education and my golden years. Sometimes, I may even have a little bit left over to have some fun — I try to spend the extra bucks locally.

Outdoor electronic messaging centers (EMCs) have become increasingly popular among businesses since the early 2000s. They’re able to withstand severe weather conditions, including hot southern summers and frigid northern winters. However, the key feature that makes EMCs effective for increasing traffic to businesses is their programming capabilities.
