Whoever planted this sign in my hometown must despise me. It’s there, taunting me every time I drive from my mom’s house to my brother Joe’s house: “Melody, look at me! Does the fact that IDOT didn’t put proofreading into the sign-making budget drive you crazy?” YES. IT’S DRIVING ME FREAKING INSANE! It’s MA-roa. Not MO-roa. GOOGLE IT! Google would have said, “Did you mean: Maroa, IL” and then poor little Melody would not be having nightmares about signing my initials on a proof that has a glaring typo on it. *shudder*

P.S. I will never again see this sign. The sign on the West side of Clinton says that MAROA is 10 miles away. I don’t mind the extra miles if it means avoiding that sign.
