Each day I bike the streets of New York City, which is simultaneously the most literate city in the United States, and the home of several hundred thousand people who can't spell. Bad Signs For you will bring you their mistakes. Signs from NYC that took little forethought, and are displayed without any afterthought, will be the staple here.
Misspellings
mixed intentions
unwitting double entendres
juxtapositions
...all these and more!
Bear in mind that I am a sightseeing guide, travel a lot, and take pictures elsewhere too.
The first month of Bad Signs will be photos I took myself, sent out to you at one per day. After my own supply is exhausted, Bad Signs For You may post submitted photos. Feel free to email a photo of something misspelled to stanoconnor@gmail.com. Make sure it's something you photographed yourself, and not an email forward that has been around a while.
Since this is the first blog entry, let's start with something wholesome, something fresh!
