Oh South Bend

Our friends to the east in South Bend, where the above picture was taken, have made a bit of a boo-boo. Now, I am sad to say I've misspelled things a few times in my day, but never quite in such a high-profile location. However, "public" is so easy to misspell as "pubic," I almost always check for it. Anyway, here's the hilarity:
f you ever wondered how much difference just one letter can make when it comes to a message, ask the thousands of people who drove by a digital billboard near the intersection of Ironwood and State Road 23 between Thursday and Monday morning.
The ad urged people to go to the "southbendon.com" website for a look at the "15 best things about our pubic schools." That's right, the billboard said "pubic" instead of "public" schools. The letter "L" had been left out of the word public.
Doh! This isn't so bad, at least, as the occasional upside-down billboards that are seen around town.
