After all, it’s all we have — one loooong hallway connecting cramped offices with a few windows that open to concrete walls (we are in a basement). So, you can see how a little design could go a long way in making us feel like we are not actually in a submarine. Gregg Lewis, KCRW’s Marketing Director, remembered that we have a large collection of guest photographs taken by friends of the station over the years. It was time to exhibit a few and the long hallway was the perfect place to do it. Here are the results:
