    Low key, kind of a smart publicity play given Nickelback, while still widely known, isn’t nearly as popular as they once were, so I’m guessing tourism from “Nickelback fans wanting a picture with the sign/to see their hometown” has waned quite a bit. By changing the sign, it’s gotten their town back into the news cycle as the hometown of Nickelback and maybe introduced it to younger fans who now not only have to go to the town to see the sign, but have to pay an admittance fee, a portion of which likely goes to the town somehow, to get into the museum to see the sign.

    Weird that they misspelled it "proud". It's clearly "EMBARRASSED". 🤣

    Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day. I hope all who reads this will realize your a sinner (we all are) and turn to Jesus and trust and believe that He died for your sins was buried and rose again the third day but trust in Him alone to save you from your sins and hell.

    I've honestly never heard anyone tell me that they like Nickelback. If I seen that sign in town I'd turn the F back. The only thing they have ever said that I agree with is "go home and get stoned " I can get behind that 😂

    This one seems more like fluff than propaganda.
