This sign has aways pissed me off

P1210164
1. Winter Park Welcome? Does that mean "The following text is the official 'Winter Park Welcome" or "Welcome to Winter Park" or "You are now entering Winter Park (dramatic pause) Welcome!"?

2. "Please drive with EXTRAORDINARY care" only in Winter Park. As soon as you leave Winter Park, pull out your iPhone, unwrap a taco, drive drunk and kill pedestrians.

3. Why is the whole thing in caps? Did they want the sign to scream at us?

Dear Daily City curious person,

The sign is in code. If you actually live within the royal grounds, you know that the sign actually means:

"KEEP OUT EVERYONE BUT US!
Oh, and since we have more attorneys than Naples, Florida, we will sue your ass if you so much as look at any of our residents, much less point at a residence or business or flowering hanging basket."

This secret code was officially adopted when the area was deemed holy ground, around 1948.

The wannabes in Baldwin Park proper are deemed the lower caste, thus not acknowleged in the Winter Park Whole Foods. You can spot them because of their Publix cloth bags. Recently there have been reports of BP residents attempting to disguise themselves with Louis Vuitton cloth shopping bags. Nice try.

Every once in awhile someone covers up the "e" in "care" on one of these signs. Social commentary.
