That's a neat idea Claude! But it'd be susceptible to wind currents,
wouldn't it?

This seems a valid concern.
Would a hanging banner work? If thin enough or of the right quality
cloth, it
could be viewed from both sides in the hall/lobby. It would then be out
of the
way for visitor interference and wear. It could also be exchangeable for
seasons,
special occasions or whatever.
Just another thought!
