My link to the future? Really?

I live in -- and generally love -- Alamance County. Mebane, to be precise, where my husband and I bought a house over the summer after living there for several years in rental places. I occasionally carpool with another page designer to get to Greensboro, saving the earth and some cash.

Last week, as my coworker and I headed toward I-40, we passed a new road sign on Trollingwood Road, just before a big industrial complex. The sign says:

INDUSTIAL ENTRANCE

Consider: There are signs on 40 touting Alamance as "your link to the future," and we can't spell "industrial" right?

I may feel my first act of vandalism coming on. I don't think it should count as a criminal act if you're putting on a copy-editing symbol and an R, should it?

It absolutely does not qualify as vandalism to correct an egregious mistake. Please remember to use purple paint for the correction.

P.S. Feel free to take a copy of this message to court with you, just in case an officer of the law observes the correction in process.
