Traveling nearly 800 miles per week gives me many opportunities to witness and photograph the strangest of events. Some of those would never make the local newscast, let alone the newspaper. Thus, it seems my duty to describe and share this "Nearly Newz" with the public.
Every time I look at this welcome sign in Pittsburg, KS it seems so obviously to be a cover-up for a poorly planned and incorrectly spelled sign. Doesn't it appear that the spacing would be perfect if there were only one "T"? So, to make it seem intentional, the other welcome sign on the bypass is done exactly the same. Why not just purchase new letters and make it look right?

All content herein copyrighted by this author unless noted otherwise. Really, what could be interesting about me? My career of 30+ yrs has been convenience store related. Presently, I am selling fixtures and equipment and doing c-store design. Part-time, I am a sales manager at a Joplin location of the nation's 7th largest c-store chain. Before a brief career with Walgreens, I had supervised 5 salesmen in the Joplin area for a wholesale supplier. My first major career was with a dominant c-store chain in the midwest. Generally, I am creative, somewhat humorous, fun to be with and I love my family and the quirks of the English language. My computer is my friend, and I have over 300 frisbees. After 29 years, I have been divorced since fall of 2007. We have had great family vacations! I would also like to write a book of everything that I've ever written. (Hey, I'm done already!) I've invented about 100 things, patented zero, so someone else has always taken them to market before me and made millions, I'm sure. My family and friends are of great importance to me. Thanks for looking, feel free to email me or comment!

I think its just a way to look modern and "jazzy" or something - not to squeeze in a forgotten letter. You're just an old fuddie-duddie :)
Funny! I love the observation about the Pittsburg, KS sign. It seems very probable you're right! How cheesy!
It is certainly to cover-up the misspelling or they would have raised and lowered two of the last letters (maybe the U and the R).
