Centreville’s Trader Joes Turns Internet Heads with “Parks and Rec” Signs
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
“Can they do that?” a friend asked when he sent a link to Splitsider’s post on the Centreville Trader Joe’s and its use of characters and quotes from popular NBC sitcom “Parks & Recreation.”
Our answer? Man, who cares? Look at how awesome these are:

On Twitter, Tom Haverford himself, comedian Aziz Ansari, had this to say: “I don’t think Trader Joe’s is on Twitter, but FYI Tom Haverford calls Trader Joe’s Mango Lemonade – Nature’s Hennessy.”
For now the signs live at the Centreville Trader Joe’s location at 14100 Lee Highway, which is right down the street from our offices, and were drawn by employee Elisa Ortiz. Who knows? There could be more.
And if you don’t know what we’re talking about, stop what you’re doing and go watch all of “Parks & Recreation” immediately.
Well, maybe not the first season.
UPDATE: Those are the only ones so far and they are comically small.
