Megan shot all these pictures at the Macy's in Boca Raton, FL. She comments "It's like, so what are you really going to unveil after the construction?" Indeed.
Hey, how do you know they weren't quoting someone? Maybe they asked someone on the street what they thought, and they said "it has an updated new exterior". It could happen.
I live in Boca and every time I walk up the escalator those damn quotation marks get me - I'm glad someone finally posted this. Maybe they'll get some "air conditioning" up there once the renovation is done.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

wow! How many people did this mistake have to get past?

True, true; but it's "woefully"(1) lacking in source citation.
