So... are they going to "fix" the signs back to the crummy condition they were in before?

No. They will leave it as it is and then they will fill in and polish down the crack in the Liberty Bell to make the bell look as if it was never damaged. < /sarc>

The sign was 60 years old and hand-painted by the original architect of the Grand Canyon architectural monuments. It was not perfect for the Grammar Police but it was original History as it was created by the historical figure.

It no longer is.

A original historical artifact is an original historical artifact, warts and all.

Pensylvania? What in the heck is a Pensylvania? I'm driving to Philadelphia and engrave a new "N" in the Liberty Bell.

Are road signs historical artifacts? I thought a sign was for informational purposes and the historical artifact would have been the tower itself?

But someone has already corrected me on the ‘emense’ thing. I only said I sympathized and that the story was strange. I cannot imagine it will cost $3k to fix the sign. Only in the government.
