HAGERSTOWN, Md. – The city of Hagerstown corrected a municipal spelling error Thursday, 20 years after committing it. A sign directing drivers to “Municpal Stadium” was replaced with one displaying the proper spelling, said Erik Kline, city traffic control supervisor.
The sign was erected in the mid- to late 1980s, but the error went uncorrected until The (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail brought it to City Hall's attention this week, prompted by a reader's complaint. Kline said the longtime tolerance for the misspelled sign shouldn't reflect poorly on the western Maryland city of 38,000.
“I think it was a mistake that was made. I don't know that it necessarily makes us look bad,” Kline said.
Just for a little insight, this was taken from a newspaper in San Diego, CA. Its amazing how fast dumb news travels
