Yes, it's part of the charm like the famous stamps with the upside-down airplanes. There are certainly many MODERN station sign gaffes.Take the 1990s-era MTA sign in the mezzanine at 65/Broadway directing people to the stairs to Rowan Street. Never mind that Rowan Street is a defunct street name at the other end of the station that had a defunct exit leading to it. There are still a few original 1930s-era IND tile directional signs left on the platforms. But whose bright idea was it to order and install a new sign? There must be other street name mispellings on signs around the system. The Saint George ferry/bus terminal has a sign for the S42 via BRIGHTEN Avenue. Sorry, but it's BRIGHTON. |
