For several weeks now, the sign in front of the Jackson City Hall has read this:

“City Hal.”

Here are a few of my theories of what might have happened:

1. Copper thieves stole the missing L because they thought it was real gold.
2. The L got furloughed. (or worse)
3. It’s a tribute to Hal White.

One commenter on my Instagram said it is Country Hal’s sophisticated brother.

I don’t know. What I do know is that a new L probably wouldn’t cost much to buy. Heck, Therese Apel even suggested running over there with a Sharpie. And yes, I know the city has bigger problems. But little stuff like that makes you think that maybe things are worse than we feared. Sure, the streets and the budget are falling apart. But at least keep the grass cut and the letters on City Hall together.

It’s the same reason I get up and shave even when I don’t feel like it (unless it is beard season). It’s just the little things. Or should I say ” ittle things.”
