Salinas has such poor literacy that, despite being the largest city in Monterey County, every major bookstore has said “umm, no thanks” to the idea of coming to town. Can you tell?

The worst part is, for such a sign to have been made, both the customer and the signmaker failed to recognize the problem.

This is the same city that had a sign pointing to the John Steinbeck center that was missing the first “e” in Steinbeck (pretty bad, since EVERYTHING in Salinas is named after Steinbeck). I wish I had taken a picture of that.

I thought Fresno was dumb!
