Come visit Amarillo’s ‘Vistor’ Information Center

Visitor is misspelled in the "Visitor Information Center" sign on the streetlight post along South Pierce Street intersecting with Southeast Fourth Avenue in Amarillo.

The things I notice when sitting at a stoplight. Take Monday afternoon, for example.

I’m at the stoplight on South Pierce Street intersecting with Southeast Fourth Avenue. I look up, do a double-take and then a triple-take.

A sign pointing the way to Amarillo’s Visitor Information Center has a key word misspelled as “Vistor.” Check out the accompanying photo.

I guess one of my sayings is true: “Everybody needs a copy editor.” Or at least a good spell-check program.

I think it's funny.....

That the AGN would publish this. Funny because they tend to not check their own articles for spelling and punctuation.
