As we reported last week, the QFC remodel is underway and the iconic W A L L I N G F O R D sign came down last week (a day earlier than forecast) for safekeeping.
Jack Bonney, who took the photo on the left, suggested “I suppose ‘Llingford’, the neighborhood’s name circa 11am today, could have kind of a nordic flair to it, or perhaps be read as “ying-ford,” if I remember how double ‘L’ works in Spanish.”
Thanks to Amy Rainey for the photo on the right. And don’t worry, Kristin Maas of QFC writes “We’ll take good care of the sign…I promise!”
Please do, Kristin. Llingford is counting on you.
I don’t know, Llingford seems more Welsh than Nordic to me. =)
Definitely Welsh. The longest town name in the world is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales.
