Just this weekend I noticed a small map display in a local Starbucks in
Laramie Wyoming.  The top of the stand has two street signs that say
Rand and McNally.  Is this a new marketing strategy for Rand McNally?

------------------
The men's clothing store made an strategic move. Rand McNally was on a
very
busy corner while the men's store was down the block a bit. It now has
customers "coming and going", so to speak. They're rather upscale and
don't
seem to be the "flashy" type. but, then agin, who knows.
