That’s a hoot! I’ve walked by that a thousand times and have never noticed it. Thanks, Jessamyn, for giving us new eyes.

Yes- that’s really a cute one! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thought at first glance that you were referring to the “Mysteries” floating in front of the open air. Thanks for the smile…and the reminder to pay attention.

Kudos for noticing, for taking the photo, and for sharing. Just the M DUN FOR would have been funny enough. But to have that next to the mysteries sign, when many mysteries include murder — could anyone have planned that?!

May they never need to shift their shelves! (Or at least make special compensation for this section.)

Gotta love things like this!!

Toni, now that Jessamyn has pointed this out to us, I will make certain we NEVER shift this range!
