The food (soul food) was excellent, but I think they are now out of business.<BR/><BR/>Take a look at the Taco Bell sign on Pershing--that's where the "There Here" snafu resides. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting!EnglishProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620105485783681467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197605046685148376.post-71103929967864994642007-08-21T20:42:00.000-05:002007-08-21T20:42:00.000-05:00I haven't noticed any signs around town lately, bu...I haven't noticed any signs around town lately, but there is that restaurant called "Have U Ate Today" or whatever, that annoys the heck out of me seeing the restaurant and the delivery truck around town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197605046685148376.post-29162373102255379882007-08-11T01:35:00.000-05:002007-08-11T01:35:00.000-05:00Kris-I remember back when I attended the community...Kris-<BR/><BR/>I remember back when I attended the community college for Early Childhood Ed., one of my teachers said something that stuck in my head. She was discussing how some childcare centers intentionally misspell their business name, or turn letters backwards, to look "cute" and how she hated that. She thought it was especially in poor taste since these places were supposed to educate children. I hadn't thought about it until then, but she made a good point. <BR/><BR/>That's one thing, but I would have to say I'm sometimes amazed at the lack of proofreading that goes on out there! I worked for a newspaper for a few years and often found misspelled ads, simply from a lack of proofreading. You see it in books, on the Internet... but I have to say that having a SIGN CONSTRUCTED for your business with misspelled words has to be the absolute worst!<BR/><BR/>Ha Ha! I hope I didn't spell anything wrong in this comment! Hold on... let me proofread...LOL!<BR/><BR/>Well as far as I know, I think it's all good!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Your CuzDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101199760838663044noreply@blogger.com
