I Promise To Fix The Roads!

This seems to be the mantra of political candidates for the last 20 years.  Yet, the roads are still not fixed.  And the lack of funding seems to be the root cause.  And the funding won’t be possible until both political party agree to it.  So,unless a candidate plans to pay for the road repairs with their own money,  fixing the roads is just another empty promise.

The Lost Railroad.

According to a TV program, there is an abandoned railroad line that runs from Kalamazoo to Muskegon.  It was built in the 1800s along the beach of Lake Michigan. And the tracks, along with a steam locomotive are now covered with sand.  Since most people are unaware of this, I assume that some, in a newly informed public, will want to check this out.

Lucky Number Seven.

The 100th Street bridge over the expressway has now been hit for the 7th time this year.  Apparently truck drivers are not getting permits for oversized loads and therefore are not being warned of the bridge hazard.  It is getting so bad that there is now a Facebook page for the bridge.  100th Street Overpass.  Check it out.
