"Cenrtal Phila" Sign Proves That Spelling Is Hard As The Hits Just Keep Coming For I-95 South In Philadelphia
Where the heck was autocorrect when you need it?
Gotta be honest with you here, gang. This ain't going to help Philly beat any of the allegations. The rest of the country views us as a bunch of hoagie-mouth breathing neanderthals who use sports as a crutch to get completely obliterated and act like scumbags every week. They'll never mention the incredible food scene in Philly because they just view us as chopped up steak smothered in cheese whiz. They'll never mention the incredible art scene in Philly because they think the only piece of art we care about is the Rocky Statue. They'll never mention the culture in Philly because to them, it's just snowballs at Santa Claus.
Cenrtal Phila probably isn't helping the narrative at all. But you know what? This is exactly what makes Philadelphia the last true "common man's city" in America. This is what makes Philly as blue collar and gritty as we are.
Because I'm sure that someone noticed the sign was spelled wrong right from the start. But it was probably late in the day and they just wanted to go home. They already put in a big day on the job, and they figured they could just get around to fixing the mistake tomorrow. Then tomorrow came around and they completely forgot about it. They didn't remember until it was too late and the sign was already getting shipped off down 95. So they figured whatever, someone else will handle the mistake once it gets there before the install. But whoever was there to install the sign already had a big day at work that day and didn't feel like dealing with that hassle right now. So they threw it up there and figured they could fix it later, he just wanted to get home. It's not that nobody noticed the sign had a spelling error, it's just that nobody wanted to fix it until later. That's the common man's way of dealing with any issue.
P.S. -- Here's a great time to remind everybody of this all-time hoagie mouth interview when 95 burned down last summer.
