These elegant fowl mark the entrance to Chicken Alley, a narrow street lined with brick buildings. Chicken Alley got its name from the chicken processing that took place here decades ago; now it is home to artists’ studios, living spaces, and, according to local legend, the ghost of Dr. Jamie Smith who has been sighted countless times since his untimely death in a barroom confrontation back in 1902.

You’re driving down the road and something red catches your eye. That pesky red hue that Sir Isaac Newton placed at the very beginning of the color spectrum when he first described it back in the 17th century grabs your attention every time. That’s why fire engines, stop signs, and certain poisonous critters bear the color red. It screams, “Look at me and pay attention!” It’s no wonder so many business use red in their exterior color schemes.

In recent blogs we’ve seen an airport store that featured rustic sconces, a winery with galvanized warehouse shades, and porcelain pendants for a southern BBQ joint. Today’s Featured Customer is retail giant Macy’s who opted for their own bold and beautiful porcelain shades in the form of Barn Light Electric’s Goodrich® Bomber to highlight the Ralph Lauren display at their Millenial Mall location in Orlando.

Check out this sweet deep bowl pendant we spotted recently at the Lush store in the Orlando International Airport! Big, bold, and bright white porcelain!
