    ;) As life can only be understood backwards, but has to be lived forward, it it mostly afterwards that one discovers ...

    A little misspelling always provides some humor. Nice!

    Salon is misspelled too. Coney Island's population is mostly Russian Jewish these days, so what's the impact on Italy?

    I have a secret ambition to be a roving sign proofreader throughout the "English-speaking" world.

    @ Bob Crowe - 'Salone', if a bit old fashioned, was the proper Italian word for a barber shop long before fancier names came from abroad to be misspelled here!

    Lol, this is so funny, just like the French going American with 'le jean's' or countless other examples!

    Well, it is the same here, English is used more and more. I hope the owner of the sign "Stylist" will get a stylish new one...

    Always fun to point out misspellings. I will sometimes send emails to companies, where I claim to be very upset about the mistakes I see.
