I walked up Bishopthorpe to Seneca, Out Seneca past the old house. The plan was to go down the 3rd street hill and maybe as far as the HMT before coming home.
At Seneca and Dakotah streets I noticed the street sign. Something was wrong. (Bottom) It was spelled DAKTAH. Say what? I've only recently gotten used to the H being there. Now they are taking away letters? Then I went up to Delaware, and this time it was spelled correctly in lower case letters.
Then I walked down to Cherokee and it was spelled correctly with Capital letters. Now the hunt was on. Could I find one without the H? No. But clearly the city needs continuity and a proofreader. And if they fix it, the Indian Hills neighborhood would like their tribes spelled correctly— In this case Dakota.
And if this graphic designer has a choice, she chooses all cap with the block number. Makes things easier to find. Especially if one is going the wrong direction.
