SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WANE/WSBT) - An embarrassing billboard spelling error on a sign meant to tout South Bend schools has been pulled.
The billboard is a digital one near the intersection of State Road 23 and Ironwood in South Bend. It went up on Thursday and was pulled Monday morning.
The billboard encouraged people to go to "southbendon.com" to check out the "15 best things about our PUBIC schools." Obviously it was supposed to say "public", but the "l" was left out.
The president of a company called "the Blue Waters Group" told WSBT-TV the mistake was not made by the city or the schools. He said the ad was proofed by 4 people and the typo got by all of them.
The company is under contract with the City of South Bend thru the the redevelopment commission to do work that promotes the city.
