Loyola University Chicago

Monday, 31st October 2005 by James

Large type painted atop the basketball gym at Loyola University in Chicago. Student legend says that it was painted for the sake of the many passengers flying into O’Hare airport. However; the normal flight path is to the south of the basketball gym, so most passengers see the writing upside-down.
