Just realized the new city hall blueprints on display downtown have a major dimensioning error on the second floor plan.

I was walking through the civic center lobby yesterday and they have the architectural drawings for the renovation up on a big board. Stood there for like ten minutes and the scale on the main corridor is off by a full foot. The notes say it's 8 feet wide but the drawn dimensions add up to 9. Someone's gonna have a bad day when they try to install those built-ins. Has anyone else caught a public mistake like that? Makes you double-check everything.

Caught a typo on a park dedication plaque last month that swapped two historical dates. It's wild how these things slip through. Makes me side-eye every official sign now.

Yeah, that's the worst, @butler.abby. I saw a city welcome sign once that spelled the mayor's name wrong. Like, permanently cast in metal. I started taking pictures of errors I found and sent a batch to the town clerk's office every few months. They actually fixed a few, like a historical marker with the wrong battle year. Felt good to get it on record.
