Businesses in the heavily Asian city of Monterey Park, Calif., now must post their signs in English as well as in Chinese.
The requirement will help promote economic development and increase public safety, the City Council said in passing the change unanimously. Businesses now must install at least one sign that uses the "modern Latin alphabet," KNBC-TV reports.

Or how long is “House Of Whoopee” going to get to be up if it is in the Thai language?

They won’t pay for new signs ,, they will simply write “Chong’s House of Chop Suey” on a 3*5 card and tuck it in alongside the “store hours” sign.

“Modern Latin Alphabet” means that Spanish only signage would be permitted.

Much ado about nothing. SF has voting instructions and ballots, in 14 languages.

the obvious problem being the fire engine that has to respond to Chong’s House of Chop Suey. Such a business probably wouldn't be found in Monterey Park. Chop suey, a dish created decades ago by Chinese immigrants, is disappearing from the menus of Chinese restaurants as as Sino-Americans increasingly want "authentic" Chinese food.
