Airports and Casinos
I bet I've written about this before.
I was struck by how there was no concept of time in the Austin airport. No concept, that is, except in relation to when one's plane leaves. It was before 9 a.m. and bars were packed. People were eating barbecue and burgers and fried chicken and pizza and it didn't matter that it wasn't breakfast time.
That's when it hit me: I was inside a casino, basically, where time doesn't exist. Want a hamburger at 6 a.m.? No problem. Want to drink before breakfast? Also no problem. Airports are on a near-24 hour schedule, just like casinos.
The logical step here is to start putting casinos inside airports. Surely that can't be far away.
