New Albany's new slogan: "Truck Through City" ... Part 83: No karaoke for Warren Naps & the Bored of Works until the DemoDisneyDixiecratic Party approves.

It's an election year, and bright new green street signs with a spanking new city logo (approved by whom?) are as ubiquitous as fast food litter, but more on that another time.

Many old signs remain where they've always been, like this one -- rather hard to see while traveling westbound on Spring where the one-way traffic begins.

Of course, the question has been asked many times before: What is meant by heavy trucks?

Yet, throughout the decades, and especially during the present time of our revolution of as yet unheeded rising two-way expectations, the Bored of Works remains unable or unwilling to answer it.

So, is this truck preparing to turn onto Spring Street to be classified as "heavy"?


Is there an ordinance governing heaviness, or not? Is shaking houses enough?


Does the state have rules about it, or not?


If there are rules in effect, why aren't we enforcing them?


To what extent has the horribly botched Main Street project, acclaimed by Mayor Gahan as a cornfed Avenue des Champs-Élysées, played into these questions being purposefully ignored?


Over the weekend, Warren Nash broke his silence and conceded that he's under no obligation to be social to folks who aren't a member of his political party.

"Not answering a question or even acknowledging it on social media from a political candidate is not being deceitful."

Evidently I've substantially burdened the practice of his political conscience -- and I plan to continue doing so. He's a gatekeeper functionary and a party hack ... looks like the feeling is mutual.


Following is the 500th "truck through city" photo in this series. It's what residents and visitors alike want our city to be about -- right, Warren, Jeff, Adam and gang? Because if it wasn't, you'd actually do something, wouldn't you?
