This caught me eye the other day at a Wells Fargo Bank. Bugs turn up in neat places.

Thanks finster, that’s exactly where I found it.
Being familiar with the building, and curious of what it looked like today I Go-Oogled it… but i didn't expect to find the photo used in the graphic.
The low flying aircraft is weird - evoking that 'North by Northwest' vibe, given chase to women and children running for their lives, burdened with suitcases.
