This is our new & improved sign for the office. Snazzy. The old sign was discolored and faded by the years in the hot sun so this is a 'proper' use of funds (in my humble opinion) that didn't go to my paycheck.--even the font is different which brings me to my next point did you know that NY is spending 27 million on replacing street signs/ names so that instead of it reading "RIGHTEOUS AVE" it will now read "Righteous Ave"- grammatically correctly <--(as those last 2 words were not). Who the flick cares? You could think of so many better ways money could be spent yet this is what our budget is spent on.
Do you remember not so long ago I was writing on the fact we were 'dumbing down' ourselves (or people were making us dumber by virtue of some of the changes to the street signs) & now "they" (they being the same people as before who thought to change the walk/don't walk signs to a red hand/white man combo) say we are not intelligent enough to figure out "HOE AVE" is still "Hoe Ave"-- proper use of capitalization does not make a HOE less of a Hoe.
(Yes, there is a Hoe Ave in the Bronx...just another one of the many wondrous things here)
