Someone's being funny... right?
Back when the Borough of Swarthmore put in the small road by the Co-op, Lincoln Avenue, they put a little supertitle on the street sign that read, "Named in Honor of Lincoln University", because apparently they wanted to make it blatantly obvious that they were adding a street named after a historically-African-American college, and not just named after the President. I rolled my eyes at the ostentation and moved on.
But recently I've noticed that several more streets in the ville have acquired supertitles. Just now I saw that above "Park Ave" at its intersection with Rutgers there's now a sign saying, "Honoring Small Parks Only". This can't possibly be real, can it? It must be a detailed practical joke, like what "The Mgt." would do in Illuminatus... right? Please??
