They have moved out of town. I guess you have to call them to find out where.

He turns into a local on the night of a full moon?

Maybe they were local but aren't now.

I give them partial credit for effective use of color. Frankly, when I first saw this picture, I read it as we're, and only after thinking about it for a little while did I see werelocal as did shiva.

What's the big deal? They must have moved far far away.

Hm. Since in this type of sign each character is presumably some sort of clip-on panel, it's entirely possible that they just didn't HAVE any apostrophes. Which is some justification, I suppose.

Finally, a blog devoted to one of my pet peeves. A trip through Phoenix would provide you with endless photo opps!

They only promise that they speak English. Nobody said anything about literacy.

We speak English but we don't spell it.
