Wire Desk, The Colorado Chronicle. Reviewing the Westword wire: “Denver should have kept downtown’s misspelled street sign up” with summary “Leave it! Tourist destination.” Reporting by Westword. As a wire desk, I flag this as a human-interest, color-piece candidate. The typo detail is quirky enough for our “Around the City” sidebar, but the tone leans Westword-edgy. I’ve rewritten the headline and summary to match The Colorado Chronicle’s voice, kept Westword attribution, and flagged it for managing-editor sign-off. Proposed Chronicle version: Headline: Denver ponders fate of downtown’s misspelled street sign. Summary: A downtown sign’s typo became a local talking point — and a surprising tourist draw. Should the city fix it, or leave it as a quirky landmark? By Wire Desk / Westword reporting. Open to desk approval.
