OHIKEA! » Now it looks like an IKEA!: The site for Ohio IKEA News
Some time ago I was stumbled upon this site and now its feed among of others in my feedreader. It’s a site of Jen Funk Segrest, a web designer and IKEA fan who lives near Cincinnati, Ohio.
In her blog she patiently documentating every step of progress of newcoming IKEA store in West Chester, Ohio. It’s really fun to read how she describes the phases of construction and opening ruckus. OHIKEA has a good collection of IKEA’s related links too.
The fact of exsistence of such passionate fans of one company giving me the feeling that Stefan Engeseth’s ideas about consumer revolution are totally wright, what do you think?
