Memo to Vermont: Ya can't get theah from heah

Jenny McClary immediately noticed a problem with this Vermont tourism ad on the T. Really observant types will also quickly note that the ad mentions Clevland Circle (thrifty Vermonters saving on their 'e' budget?), but shows the train continuing from Lechmere (or should that be Lechmr?).

Hmm. If the T did extend the Green Line a bit further west, it would probably look something like this.

For a long time the sign on the platform of the Cleveland Circle station was actually spelled "Clevland", I think it was fixed earlier this year

I saw those same ads in two other cities, appended to the transit maps, including ads in Calgary urging visits to Ontario.

It was weird coming home and seeing the exact same ads at West Medford commuter rail station that I had seen at Marlborough Station in Calgary and on the Metro in DC.
