Who Ditched Mitch (or The Case of the Missing Billboard)
This morning, as I passed through Time Corners, I glanced over at Chris Stewart's billboard on the corner. I immediately noticed that the billboard to the right of his had been changed since the day before; it now read "IAFF for HARPER". I chuckled and thought how imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and wondered who decided to put it right beside Stewart's. At least the left and right sides were in correct placement. . .
But, when I passed by the same sign this afternoon, it had been changed again! To this:
So now I'm left to wonder why an ad for Harper went up, seemingly in the middle of the night, and then disappeared within a few hours. Was it a prank? Was it installed on the wrong billboard? Does anyone have any information about this that they'd like to share?

Thanks, Scott!
John:
It was a mistake on the billboard company's part. They made the change after realizing they had violated their own "line of sight" policy. Not much more intrigue that than...just human error. The postings were scheduled out of South Bend, where they're not attuned to who's running against whom in Fort Wayne, so it's an understandable mistake, and they did the right thing by correcting it as soon as they could.
Anthony - Thank you for taking the time to set things straight here and elsewhere regarding this matter. I was wondering how a billboard could get flipped so fast!
