Marc Giauque reportingTo some it may look like a pretty lame job, but one Ogden area teen is turning a sign-spinning job into an art form.
You've no doubt seen those people out on street corners with signs advertising businesses or sales. It's rare that they're very enthusiastic, but for Nate Johnson, it's a different picture.
With his iPod strapped to his head, Nate, who calls himself "The Dance Machine" spins the sign, gyrates and jams with the tunes only he can hear. "Anything with a good beat; a lot of jazz, rock, nothing hard or anything, but just what I like," he said.
Nate stations himself at the corner of Highway 89 and Unita about three times a week after school. His employer calls him "priceless," saying he definitely draws in business.
Johnson spends about three hours at a time on the corner. He says it's a good workout. *E-mail:
