My town changed!

Laura14 · ‎06-09-2014

I went out to the shopping plazas for the first time since March. I have new roads, new traffic patterns and new buildings that have been completed or are in the process of being built. It was a whole new world and I have only been away three months. 🤣

Guess that's what you get when you work and grocery shop around the corner. Drive two more miles and Rand McNally needs to draw me a new map. 😂

@Laura14 ...... Was all that being done while in a "stay at home" request?

@Laura14 Not only has geography and infrastructure changed, but society has changed too. All of this is a bit scary and unnerving.

@Sheila P-Burg Yes! Apparently the construction business was alive and well working right along with me during the quarantine.

While driving to and from the clinic, we noticed 2 fender-bender car accidents, one downed traffic light, and a flattened-to-the-ground yield sign. I suspect some folks have forgotten how to obey traffic rules.

@deepwaterdotter Or they handed out licenses to the kids without road tests. They actually did that in GA. I really don't get some people's logic.

@Laura14

Sounds like good things are happening in your area. Since my only ventures have been to the hospital and back since March? My wife is the only one out and about. The major change she had told me about? The Target store, where she/we shop has everything but the entrance/exit doors boarded up.

Pretty much all she has seen change, or told me about anyways.

That’s what happens when the economy is booming! Infrastructure is being fixed and rebuild, new buildings and businesses being open. That is what we need, not the destruction and lawlessness ( of any kind).

The first time I drove after a month I really had to pay attention, it was like I'd forgotten how to park!
In my town they have paved the main streets and parking lots. There is construction almost finished that wasn't even there. It's like I've been in the twilight zone!
