KenG spots Zaragoza/Zaragosa spelling glitch!

KenG posted a thread on the strelz forum (http://strelzbacktalk.proboards19.com/index.c.cgi?action=display&board=EP&thread=1208037839&page=1) about the fact that on El Paso’s eastside, the street name Zaragoza is spelled two different ways depending on the streat sign.

So, since I live in the neighborhood (or drive through it daily) I thought I’d snap a couple of pics for you all (and maybe someone in charge of street signs) to see.

This is on the corner of Saul Kleinfeld and Zaragoza/Zaragosa. Right near Senator Shapleigh’s office.

One sign spells it like this:

The other side of the street, at the same intersection, spells it like this:

Weren’t we on one of those crazy lists like “Top Illiterate Cities in America” or something? I can’t make up my mind on whether I think this is sad or funny.

Maybe I should send this into Headlines on the Jay Leno Show?
