New Albany's new slogan: "Truck Through City" ... Part 38: Have you heard the one about J & J Pallet and the Main Street Deforestation Project?

Okay, listen; it goes like this.

See the pretty J & J Pallet truck roaring down Spring Street, unhindered by feebly enforced ordinance in any respect as it makes for the other interstate as fast as humanly possible?

John "Rasputin of Redevelopment" Rosenbarger and his oblivious handlers in the mayor's office say that when the Main Street Deforestation Project is finished, trucks like the one belonging to J & J Pallet -- currently speeding down Spring Street all day long -- will voluntarily change their routes back to Main Street and pass through openings like this.

HA HA HA. That's a good one, eh? Well, here's another one. This truck ...

... will quickly divert back here HA HA HA HA HA HA.

And this one ...

... can't wait to squeeze through here, on its way to deliver to a Dollar General in East Jesus.

... right here. HA HA HA HA HA HA

Small wonder the unemployment rate is up. Every city planner, not to mention a goodly number of elected officials, wants to be a stand-up comic.
