Dropping L. at the airport today, I noticed the sign pointing to the Teletheater. I have been seeing these signs for years, and occasionally speculated on what they are, why they are only at airports (at least I only see them there), and what goes on inside them. Are they still extant? Has anyone reading this ever been in one? What do you do in there, and why?
I heard an NPR plug for an upcoming segment about the popularity (therefore income-generating properties) of obituaries, and the speaker said they were sometimes termed the "Irish sports pages". Longtime readers of this page know Ilike collecting these slurs or shall we see ethnic distinctions, but I wonder what this one means. Why would the obituaries resemble sports pages, and why only for the Irish?
