On a side note, last November, we began a lengthy advertising campaign on the local Regional Rail system. During January, February and March, we had our digital video ads running in Suburban Station. In the upcoming months, you will be able to see our latest digital ads in the Market East Station on 52” TVs. Also, keep your eyes peeled for new ads on the trains and in the local Regional Rail stations.
