This is just a warning, if you have not driven over the "newly" finished railroad tracks at 32nd Street and Columbus Ave, proceed carefully over them, they are horrible, I was told after the fact that I needed to wear a support bra next time. I just wanted to know who was going to pay my doctor bill for my whiplash.

It's both ways too. I  noticed all kinds of scrape marks in the blacktop from car frames on both sides of the street. And yes I went too fast both ways and just about crapped thinking I was airborn.

I could not say any bad words, I was driving the church van, the kids wanted me to turn around and go back across as fast as I could go!

The only thing good that might come out of that is that it might slow some of those wild drivers down, oh probably not, we can read about them on the scanner thread!

I noticed that there are signs that CSX will be closing the tracks on Main Street, are they going to fix them the sameway?

I had forgotten about Rangeline, because out there at the four way stop by Lucys (?) they did not have the turning lane blocked off so cars get into that lane, not knowing that road is closed then have to cut back over, watched two people race for the lead last Thursday when one of them couldn't turn, I was trying to figure out was going to hit who.

Dawg nailed it, CXS's is responsible for the crossings, not the street department.


The other PINK meat!

I think it would be one of these two forms you would use.
