Signs of the Times

New York City (or at least, its tourism group) has undertaken an ad campaign promoting New York City as the "intersection of everything," which in itself is not particularly objectionable (although Chicago could certainly dispute it). Fine.

But the website on the ads is "NYCGO.com." Now I'm sure to a New Yorker, that translates as "New York City Go." To a Chicagoan, however, it reads "New York Chicago."

Just sayin'.
