If they had've been smart they could've put a matching sign on Holyhad and watched the pilots fly in circles thinking they were flying in circles.

In 1978, a wiseacre in Milwaukee decided to add an extra touch of confusion for passengers on planes about to land at Mitchell Field. On the roof of his studio near the airport approach, he painted in large block letters the friendly message Welcome to Cleveland.

To my knowledge, that message is still there.

The linked article has a recent (2015) photo of it, and mentions that he repaints it every six years or so.
