Friday wrap-up



Some of the final pieces of curbing were set in place on Madison Street and, although it's really hard to tell what's going on because of traffic constraints, it appeared that concrete was being poured into the curbing ditches. (I'm sure that there's a more-correct name for them, but "ditches" seems to work!)




On Sanger Avenue, where scraping and grading continued and more adjustments were made to driveway ramps (another non-technical but descriptive word) residents were getting tired of the noise and dust and lack of reliable driveway access. At least the row of stakes that had been placed in the center of the road this morning have been removed and drivers can now make very wide turns in hope of creeping safely over the curbstones without hearing any screams from the undercarriages of their vehicles.







One-lane traffic slowed, dust billowed, it was hot. But many, many motorists have said that at times when they were the most frustrated the smiles of the flag girls made them feel better!












And out at Dairy Creme, there were smiles everywhere! At least two schoolbus drivers took their young passengers for an annual, last-day-of-school treat!
