Have fun explaining this one to your kids while you're standing at one of the four busy bus stops on the corner of SE 39th and Hawthorne in Portland. ("Hooked on Phonics be damned!")
I'm a very outspoken advocate of free speech--but good taste has to weigh in somewhere...
[And yes, I'm aware of the irony of this post in light of my "public bathroom mischief" entry of yesterday...]
Do you think they know they spelled sparrows wrong? I think I'm more troubled by that.

Hey Lelo! I thought the same thing, but then found out that the sign is right - that's how the band spell their name. Maybe a copyright thing? Or a name picked too late at night after too many beers?

Gawd, but I love being a Portlander!

My friend who went to the Red Sparrowes show said they used the Olde English spelling on purpose. I don't know why though.
