It's SUMMER!


NEWS Channel 2 Forecast for WEDNESDAY.
Today: Plenty of sun. High 80.
Tonight: Increasing clouds with thunderstorms after midnight. Low in the low 60.

Is this a Traffic Forecast for this afternoon?




At a few minutes past four o'clock, yesterday, southbound traffic was backed up from the "Times" office to the "Schoolhouse" apartments. Northbound traffic on Sanger Avenue was in an equally frustrating holding pattern.


The cause seemed - 'tho it IS hard to tell exactly what's going on because once you have a chance to move, you still have to keep watching for red flags indicating lane changes or "Stop!" - to stem from the number of pieces of paving equipment all doing what they're supposed to do to effect the application and smoothing of asphalt. The trouble was, they were doing that 1., at the top of Buell Avenue, 2. on White Street, 3. and along both north and southbound parking lanes on Main Street! It all would have been fun to watch from a stationary position. I think that I'll take my camera to the front windows of Totally-U and Mac's Diner, today!
