Seen on the east end of Main Street. The orientation of the letters is right from this side, but “nepo” isn’t a word. On the other side, the letters are in the right order to say “open”, but the letters are flipped the wrong way. Was this an intentional compromise, knowing the banner would be seen from both sides, or is it a mistake?
