Millbrook's downtown streets recently went through extensive renovations, and when they were done all the townsfolk were happy—including Nexicom which has an office there. The new street line markings reminded many locals of the ones from the Beatles' iconic Abbey Road cover.
Nexicom Marketing rep Suzanne Whiston had an idea, and went with it: "I saw the lines—I saw the Beatles cover picture in my head," she tells PTBOCanada. "I saw four guys in my area where I worked, asked them if they would be willing to do this for fun and they said 'Yes!' with enthusiasm. A few of them had the vision too when the lines were painted but I was off that day so when I returned to work and saw the lines through my window, I acted on my hunch right there and then. The guys took their roles very seriously. We practised a bit in our office backyard and took a few shots. Our graphic designer, Mark, tweaked the picture and added the original Beatles pic too."
