as if on cue
The O admin sprinkles faerie dust over Chicago and millions of day glo road barrels spring up like toadstools. Now the reeks and wrecks can all stay employed for another year despite the bankrupt state, assuring their votes in another election cycle. The roads are already fine, of course, and no repairs needed.
And the Boys from Pulumbo Bros have free blowjobs and steaks for the IDOT idiots at their “barbecues”. Et voila! They are doing a lot of the work.
I gotta get out of this place.
I’ve been to Chicago. One of the places I was glad to see behind me.
Not sure which roads you’re using, but many of them our here in my neck of the Chicagoland woods (Lake Co) are pretty kerfuckled and in need of work. I don’t know if it is O-Dollars funding the construction our here, but I’m glad for them whatever the source.
The One is still running this country to hell, but at least the roads will be smooth along the way.
Look for the Recovery Act O signs.
Og, here’s the way this works in Stumptown, Oregon: First the O-Boast signs appear, then the speed limit is cut in half, then the orange barrels are arranged, then you wait, and wait, and wait. I’ve seen the posting a full 6 months before anything ever started.
Hizzoner Charley Hales in PDX just assured us that he WILL fill the potholes, but all the “fix” will be is temp patches and slurry-seal.
Be glad you drive an Exploder which can take the abuse.
Yeah, its insane to think you need an of road suspension for city streets but you do.
I swore several years ago to never go back to Chicago unless absolutely necessary.
There are 2 seasons in Chicago, Winter and Road Repair.
No mafia here…
