New Signage Better, but Still Not 100%

Jim Winstead posted recently that the new green Historic Downtown wayfinding signage had much improved wording, swapping "Broadway Th Distrist" for "Broadway Theaters" and "Spring St Hist/Fin" for "Historic Spring St." Very good changes, and hopefully they'll make their way on to the existing flawed signs.

Today, though, biking up Main I noticed one of these new signs just outside Bert Green Fine Art (pictured sign is Jim's, not this one). I was happy to see the new wording, but a little confused to see it pointing east to "Broadway Theaters". The other three arrows were correct, and the arrows on the back of the sign were all right. Just one more thing to add to the fix-it list...

Why does the title of the sign say "Historic Downtow" (missing the 'n')? Guess they can't get everything right.

I wonder if they added Gallery Row to any signage.

Nevermind that. I just read the first post. I'd rather not have anything, then a sign pointing to Gallery Ro
