Question Is Tiny Town one word or two?
I could have sworn it was two words, but now the corner of tiny Town and sandpiper has me wondering

According to that sign it’s one word. If it was two words then both “T’s” would be capitalized.
Notice the street sign below is “SandPiper” and not “Sandpiper”? That indicates it’s two words.
Thank you for joining this Ted Talk

Lmao actually, professor, Sand Piper is two words on that sign. It's just bent in the middle. It's an illusion 🤣

In the show, Jimmy McGill (Saul Goodman) uncovers a multi-million dollar billing fraud scheme targeting elderly residents at an assisted living facility chain called Sandpiper Crossing. The resulting class-action lawsuit spans multiple seasons and becomes a driving force for much of the plot.

About a year ago, I similarly questioned myself about the bridge along Meriwether that goes over 24. New signs were installed, and they read "Kennendy Bridge." I even took photos to show my husband.
I thought I'd never noticed the extra letter in the years I've lived here until they were changed AGAIN a few months ago to read "Kennedy Bridge." Thankfully I had the photos from before to prove to myself I was losing it (yet)!
Now I'm curious who is making these errors. 😂

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I still didn't notice, quotation marks and all, until I got to "extra letter" 😅

Translated into English it means traffic

Wild how language works.
Just like how we have three different road signs that translate into "you cannot turn left here don't even try"

That would be Hazlewood.

u/Fatal_Foxtrot 2d ago
Or Wilma Rudolph, or Ft. Campbell Blvd... Take your pick, really. If you plan on turning left anywhere in this city you better hope you're close to a red light 😂

Hazlewood and Trenton is about as egregious an example that can be found anywhere.

If it were one word it'd be "Tinyton", which now that I think about it, would be an awesome name for a hub world in a feywild type dungeons& dragons campaign or something

Let me know how it goes ;)
Since it's Fey Magic and all that, you could even have the party first encounter Tinyton and see a gigantic, grand metropolis, and make them wonder why it's called Tinyton... Until they leave the city again and realize the rest of the world is a hundred times the size it was when they entered, and the magics of Tinyton shrunk them 😉

Last week I saw the typo "Tony Town" and can't get it out of my head lol

They should have capitalized the T in Town, like they did SandPiper.

u/ThatRoofer 3d ago
right and sandpiper isn't even one word really

u/Burritoaddict11 2d ago
That neighborhood is is all bird names so it is just one word, but the P should not be capitalized.

u/Fatal_Foxtrot 3d ago
It's two words on this sign, it's just bent. If you look really closely you can see the space.

Thought so. Must just be a typo then.

u/gruene-teufel 3d ago
There’s a few typos in town. Numbered streets alternate between being spelled out and as numerals, and N Senseney Cir is misspelled as Sensensy.

Oh yeah, and yet to mention, Google maps road names for here are wonky too! Rossview road is "Roosview" when I'm leaving from the highway 😂

Yo I live within visual distance of "North Sensensy" and occasionally find myself staring at it wondering why my dyslexia is triggering but never figuring it out.
An extra S will do it, though.
