Popping up at the intersection of Routes 176 and 31 is the sign above.

It so bothered one of the friends of McHenry County Blog that I was alerted.

My correspondent thought it probably not a coincidence that the circle on the “stimulus” expenditure sign resembled the Barack Obama for president circle.

What do you think?

They both do have blue on top.

Route 176 is being re-surfaced from Route 31 to the Fox River.
