Oh my! It’ll look just like Paris! How very very special!
Do not stop while in a traffic circle! I just went through the Lullwater roundabout today and it was massively backed up because people were stopping within the traffic circle.
They are the same people who think that a blinking yellow light is a 4-way stop.
I’ve seen that and it makes me wonder… “How do these people dress themselves in the morning?”
They not only get dressed, but can talk on the phone while stopping in the middle of a roundabout. They are very talented — please don’t sell them short.
To coincide with classes starting. Yippee!
There you are Judd. Your DM fam was getting worried! Do you have a signed note to explain your absence?
Which August are we talking about? It’s been “August” for the last 5 years or so. Still no roundabout, just a bunch of local businesses that have been hurt by the uncertainty and slow construction work, more empty storefronts and vacant lots.
Sadly, I’ll believe it when I see it.
this will all be a great thing for Emory Village when it’s all said and done. And I think that since the construction managing firm will be at the meeting it’s a pretty good sign that they really do plan to start in August. Let’s hope so.
