There is a street here in my town named "Delaware St." Within four blocks there are two different versions of the spelling, on four different sign posts.
There isn't anything significant about this other than it makes me fear for the quality of education in this county. Of course nearly every child daycare facility has an incorrectly spelled name....Kids Kountry, Pla-Tyme, Kountry Kousins, Kiddie Kare. And the local newspaper has misspelled words sprouting like weeds throughout each edition.

You should call city hall and ask it this was intentional- a polite way of saying, hey guys, did you know your sign shop can't spell?
so speaks the local government guru.
Next time you are in mid-Missouri check out all of the spellings for Meramec. It'll make you cringe.
