Virgina monologues
Over the weekend, a series of misprinted street signs gave a fresh identity to Reno’s main thoroughfare. First reported on social media by the owner of Craft Wine and Beer, a photo showed a street sign denoting the intersection of Martin and South “Virgina” Street. The Reno Gazette Journal confirmed that the misspelling was the fault of the City of Reno’s print shop and happened at two other intersections on St. Lawrence Street and Cheney Street. The signs served as the butt of internet jokes and hashtags like #virginaisforlovers, and even spawned merchandise like hoodies bearing Virgina St. signs. The misprints were quickly taken down, but the typo has been made other places, like this sign at the corner of South Virginia and Pueblo Street.
