Brick Township, NJ: Safe City, Bad Spellers

January 02, 2008

by Scott Muoio

Welcome to Brick Township, New Jersey, a safe city but trouble with 'a' and 'i'.

 

Last November, my hometown of Brick, NJ earned the #3 ranking in CQ Press's annual report of America's safest cities. A proud accomplishment, for sure, yet surpassed by my recent hidden discovery.

While on vacation last week in Brick, I took a tour of my old neighborhood of Cherry Quay. Whle walking the streets enjoying the fresh bay air and scenic suburban sites, I noticed one particular street sign with a problem: bad spelling. Check below the snapshots I captured and see if you catch the error. Apparently, no one in Brick has... at least not yet.

 

Well, at least they got it half right!
