Miami Dade Real Estate Scoop

What Happens When You Run Out of Numbers

I was driving past the Walgreens drugstore on Quail Roost and SW 127 Avenue in Miami the other night.  I looked at the sign they put up with their weekly specials and calls to action.

I had to do a double take and then chuckle.  They had run out of #1's and substituted the letter "i" instead.

I had my camera with me but it was late and I missed the shot.  I recreated it on ImageChef and got a similar effect.

Anybody in Miami want their hiney shot?

Maggie - Ha ha. I always find it funny when you see signage that is perhaps not quite what folks mean, whether intentional or not. I stay away from shots as much as possible.

Hi ya Maggie,

So good seeing you again, and I loved your (re-created sign). Btw, you're the first one to share image chef with me, that was about 3 yrs ago.

Maggie,

Thats a funny sign. What can you do when there is not enough letters? The resort that keeps our sign on the marqee did not find L so they put:

"Condos for saie from 60K"

At least not a hiney...

Jeff, people are very creative, aren't they?  Necessity is the mother of invention, after all =)

Lynda, has it really been that long already?  WOW!  3 years of making friends and memories AND learning!

Jon, no, definitely not a hiney.  LOL
