How could I forget the disco tunnel?

This should really be called Adventures in Alabama, Volume IV: Detroit Layover, but out of sequence it loses a little something, methinks.

Anyway, I was completely blown away by the McNamara Terminal/Northwest WorldGateway, in the bowels of Detroit's Metro Airport. There was a 9,000 ft. tunnel, with a synchronized light and sound show. Lots of colors, lots of bizarre. You can see it here, and find out about the Illumination Design Award it won. Don't let the description fool you, it is an airport tunnel on acid, and that's all you need to know. The experience was made even more unsettling by a young man just standing there, directly in the middle of the passageway, staring straight ahead. For a really long time.

The best part was listening to the guy on the escalator behind me try to describe it to someone on his cell phone.

It's like, a long hallway. With, like, seascapes or some shit. And they change colors. And then the music gets really loud, and then really soft. And you're on those flat escalator things the whole time. No, you don't understand. It was really weird.
