Sorry, President Kennedy. Tampa misspelled your name.
The city put up a new street sign last night at the corner of Kennedy Boulevard and Ashley Drive. The glitch, though, was that the city spelled Kennedy “Kenndey.”
Call it human error, said Irv Lee, the city’s public works director.
“Sometimes when you’re baking cakes, you break a few eggs,” Lee said.
Irv said the error is especially unfortunate because it is at such a high-profile intersection. The city will put up a corrected sign tonight.
“We don’t want to dishonor the name of President Kennedy,” Lee said.
