C-Town Supermarket, 60-40 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY
Super savings on leaf "letuce" (s/b "lettuce") and "seedles" (s/b "seedless") grapes. Needles, er, needless to say, they cut cost on ink for these signs, and pass the savings along to you. |

Please pardon the poor quality of this image of a poor quality sign, because of the reflection from the window. Gotta love those "Winstin" cigarettes, which are cheap knock-offs of Winstons, I guess. |

And speaking of cigarretes, er, cigarettes, it's been a while since we've seen this one botched. But - and I didn't realize this until I viewed this picture on my computer - there's something more interesting at work here. The folks who run this place have apparently found some way around the laws of physics, or maybe they use some kind of decimal-based time system. Note that they are open for 25 hours, not just the usual 24 hours a day. Talk about workaholics! (One of these days, I'll go past this place and find it closed. That would really blow my mind!) |

Blue Star, 76-19 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY
It's confusing, I admit, but although "excavator" correctly ends in "or," it shouldn't be "trailor." The word is spelled "trailer." And, for the record, "bulldozer" is one word, not two. |

Bahar Shish-Kebab House, 82-19 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY
Even though the sign on the front of this establishment reads "Afghan," this one on its side says "Afgani." |

Lazar's Kosher Meats, 100-30 Queens Boulevard, Forest Hills, NY
Possibly back in Shakespeare's day, or maybe even as recently as Colonial American times, "deliverd" (or "deliver'd") was O.K. Nowadays, however, we spell it "delivered," even though we don't pronounce the third e. |

Met Food, 102-21 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, NY
Again with saving ink on supermarket signs! The word is "cocoa," not "coco." What I'd like to know is the meaning of the exact terms of sale. It reads "79¢ w/coupon free sell at $1.69." Huh? |

Azar Shoe Repair, 112-08 Queens Boulevard, Forest Hills, NY
I'm dying to know what "orthopedk" work is. For the record, it should be spelled "orthopedic." And it should be shoe "dyeing." Shoes don't die - as in "dying" - because they're not really alive. They might only seem alive to some people - like maybe Imelda Marcos. |
