MERE YARDS AWAY from each other, just south of Glendale Blvd., sit two streets signs. One labels the first turn after I-5 as Greenward. The other labels it Greensward. Both purport to be in the 3500 block. (Though one gets more specific about being the 3500 block west.)
What gives? Street department typo? All maps point toward the correct name of the street being Greensward - with the s - so how'd this rogue sign get posted?

There's something similar in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills: http://www.flickr.com/photos/superjux/1813736217/
So odd how stuff like that happens!
Indeed. In my block, Lacie Street is La Cie Street. And there's also a sign for Chevi Chase. I suspect "typos."
I have a 1934 Gilmore's map book of Los Angeles (a Thomas Guide of sorts, complete with street layouts, etc.). It shows Valleybrink as two separate words: Valley Brink. It's a wonder we can find our way home sometimes...

Oops they forgot the "S". The original subdivision map spells it out as Greensward.
