I was shocked to see this sign in a fancy mini-mall between South Station and the Financial District. Perhaps the shop owner is quoting someone who misspelled headquarters?

I'll be back. I'll try to be good with my own punctuation, but I love this stuff. I'll also keep my eyes peeled.
Thanks, nmi guy! I'm glad you like the blog!
I miss all of the deliciously awful grammar in Boston signs. It always gave me something to rant about! Thanks for your great blog; now I won't have to be homesick.
I think the shop owner meant to say Lottery Hindquarters.
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm sure that Parisians have much better signage. Are you homesick for Boston accents?
