i'd like to buy an "i"

I took this picture on the corner of 9th Ave and 41st Street, and I have to admit, I was afraid to put the post-it.  Every worker from this shop came out to glare at me, and I wasn't sure of the reprecussions of correcting their grammar.

fook spelling...

Sent in by a reader on the corner of Canal and Mott...I think that there are no words for this.  I'm afraid to explore Chinatown on my own for this project - I may never get out.  But you, readers, by all means go ahead.

togo party!

the hills are alive...

I can hear him saying it now with his thick Russian accent on 20th Ave and 85th Street in Brooklyn, and I just can't help but wonder about printing companies and their lack of morals.

I didn't even get enjoyment out of this one.  Really.

if she were a real psychic, she would have seen it coming,

I really cannot understand how a printing company has the audacity to do this. I blame them for this one, not Honeybee on Ave C between E3rd and E4th in Alphabet City.

I probably should have corrected "walk in" too, but I got nervous.  She was watching me through the window with her psychic eyes and I was afraid she was going to come out and chase me.  She must know where I live.

Is Sud a name?

Attention!  This is very serious!  Sud...if you are out there, and you own a laundromat on 8th Ave and 16th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, please contact me as soon as possible!

Otherwise...I think this sign is wrong, as does the reader who sent it in to me.

While there are many things wrong with this sign, I have made a rule that I will not correct words in other languages.  Somehow, I feel like that would be wrong.

 I know it's hard to see, so here is a close up of my target for this morning.

Seriously 7A? I love you, and your East Village corner, but your English teacher really sucked.
