After 19.5 years of living on the craters of the moon.
Say it isn't so!
When I was up around 8a, nada.
When I left for work at 11:45, nada.
Well, save for the 18th Ave E side being blocked off with cones and a road closed sign.
So off I went to Two Harbors for the afternoon.
Afterward, I met George & Gus for a walk at the cemetery (since it wasn't raining).
Returning home, driving up 19th Ave E and glancing down the block I was glad to be sitting down. Could it really be? After all these years of half-assed patching, they've finally made a slightly better effort and resurfaced the mofo.
A bit sloppy on the 18th Ave E end - not even fully fixing the areas there to the 'true corner'
And totally leaving the upper-side corner still as fucked up and half-ass patched as ever. Way to go City of Dull-uth. You ALMOST did a good job, but it'd be so unlike you to actually do something right the first time. Ah well. I feel bad for the new people on both corners.
I'll be curious to see how long this lasts (actually I hope I've gone within this next year and won't ever know), since that is all it was, a resurfacing, not a full and complete actual street replacement. (Which is good for me in a way, so as not to be fully assessed for a huge job like that.)Anyway, it is nice to see it finally done.
I might actually drive down it now as the alley is worse than the street was. (deep craters, pitted, and rebar exposed in many places)
