Upside-down "S" righted, and noted

Thursday, contractors with a crane righted the upside-down "S" in the Watershed building's new "Hillsdale" sign.

Also on Thursday, The Oregonian found the whole snafu worthy of mention as a "Keeping it Weird" item in the paper's "inPortland" magazine.

I confess to preferring the S upside-down — and keeping it weird.

About that sign . . .


Yes, that "S" in the Watershed's new "Hillsdale" sign is upside down. Then again, in context, who knows?

Those who commented on the original post, seemed to think the sign is well enough left alone.

One intriguing question is whether the sign company cares enough to fix it.

Stay tuned.

A problem worth fixing?

In the nearly three months I've been admiring our new Hillsdale sign, I have been blind to a small problem with it.

Now that it's been pointed out to me, I can't avoid it. See if you can spot it. If you do, is it worth fixing? Or perhaps it has a certain quirky charm to it.
