This is not exclusive to Sacramento, but I’ve noticed some humorous sign modifications — intentional or not — while cruising around.
Blown-out letters on signs always make for fun reading:
FORBID TY (FORBIDDEN CITY)
ROU LE PIZZA (ROUND TABLE PIZZA)
COMP WAR HO (COMPUTER WAREHOUSE)
Local hellions have defaced some street signs near the Eats/RG home too:
STUPPI now has a “D” for “STUPPID”
and
DEVON has been whited out to read “DEVO”
Over in East Sac, a while back someone spray painted on the railroad underpass near Elvas Ave: ELVAS LIVES!
OK, so this post won’t be considered for Sunday’s Forum section of the paper, but have you seen any good signs recently?
yesterday my wife pointde out a license plate on the nicest white volvo i have ever seen. it read THKUJRY. not a sign, but it’s pretty funny.

The Computer Warehouse also once read “The Computer War House” which I thought sounded like a lot more fun than some warehouse.

That reminds me of another movie theater sign. While no letters were missing, the sign for Century (Arden & Ethan) recently said, “NANCY DREW KNOCKED UP”
