The state of State St.
September 28, 2018
If you’ve been on state near veterans within the past 6 months than you’ll know about the awful, tedious, terrible, and other synonymous words describing the construction going on over there.
And I think I speak for all people who live in that area when I say,
AAAAAAGGGGHHHH!
It is the most frustrating thing in the world
Sand and dirt everywhere
Half built crosswalks that don’t even work
And next to no progress in what seems like years
And what was so bad about the old intersection,
Answer,
Nothing!
It flowed well, like there was no holdups
Had functioning crosswalks that weren’t uneven dirt paths
And it had really easy access to Wendy’s and The Viking because you could cross the street safely
Not like the new monstrosity that shall not be named
(the intersection at Veterans and State)
I know it sounds like a first world problem
But to me its a third world hell
Because nothing seems to get these construction guys to work
There’s been almost no progress in a month
And it’s been a long month
A long month of waiting
And suffering
At the same stupid intersection
With the same stupid people
The people who are always cutting people off
I just wanna cross the road
And it’s not like crossing the road is fun anyway
It’s like walking through a sandbox
A sandbox with broken bottles and plastic garbage
And why concrete?
Roads should be asphalt, not concrete.
Like what are you building?
Because it looks like a parking lot and a dirt mound had an angry unorganized lovechild who likes to bully decent people
And then those decent people get angry,
And then I get angry
Because I just want to go to Wendy’s
But I can’t go to Wendy’s
Because everyone wants to get through the intersection
And they end up cutting off all the pedestrians
You aren’t better than me because you have a shoddy honda civic
You’re just more entitled than me
And while we’re in the area what happened to Smoky Davis
That place was cool, but one day it’s there, one day it’s not
It was a really cool building to look at too
And if I find the person who knocked that place over then I will have something foul to say to them
