Oprah Plus One On Montecito Freeway Sign Taken Down
A star who recently bought her late neighbor’s property may notice her name recenlty added to a freeway sign.
Drivers heading north on the 101 approaching Montecito noticed to the sign with Oprah’s name on it on Sunday afternoon.
The sign lists Montecito’s 193 foot elevation and its population. Beneath: Pop 10,000, it reads: + Oprah.
It looks like someone stenciled a plus sign and Oprah’s name to match the font on the freeway sign when no one was looking.
Caltrans found out about the newly modified sign on Monday morning and by the afternoon it was taken down.
Caltrans said that this type of prank is dangerous given the location of the sign and that particular area of U.S. 101.
No word on how the popular Montecito resident feels about it, but she is welcome to send a comment.
