Geography Flip Flop


For those of you from distant shores, the funny thing about this sign is that the silhouette of Illinois is upside down.

I think it's an installation failure, rather than a printing failure. The state silhouette seems to be a stick-on thingy.

"Illinois Link" is a debit card by which the state distributes cash assistance and "food stamps" to the poor.

Of course, viewing north as "up" and south as "down" is a convention. Maybe we should change things up!


When north and south
are rearranged
east and west 
get interchanged.
