Fargo-Moorhead has some great crazy signs. Here is some evidence (with more to come later). The theme is “Ways to Misuse Apostrophes or Marks That Look Like Them.”
The marquee for a strip mall on the commercial drag out by Fargo’s big mall.
(Sorry for the bad shot – I took it while the car was stopped at the next light.)
The sign for a copying/printing shop near my in-laws’ place. Would you get your company’s stationery made here?
(Again, apology for the bad shot, which I took through the windshield during a rainstorm.)
Wow – that copy service sign is a doozy. Random apostrophes, irregular spacing of the words – and why is that last “S” so big? I mean, are they trying to drive customers AWAY? “Customer’s,” I mean?
I wonder if that Promenade debacle is their way of trying to get people in the fashionable European mode of saying “Prom-in-awed”… I think I will stop in at Copy Cat (I mean Kopy Kat) one day soon and point out their mistake!!
I had the exact same thought as Elise – there is NO way I would go there!
