Friday Funny: Towns Adopt Unusual Slogans
As part of their marketing efforts, towns adopt unusual slogans for highway signs.
"Brooklyn native Karen Gallagher expresses skepticism about new roadside signs soon to be erected along thoroughfares for motorists to see as they leave her community. "Leaving Brooklyn: Fugheddaboutit" they proclaim. She thinks it's confusing. These are now added to previous welcome signs, such as "How Sweet It Is" and "The Heart of America." We also talk to people around the country about signs in their towns that take note of special local events and attitudes." [Streaming audio, 3.3 min]
