Turn Around Option Blocked
I began to be oddly alarmed, not fearful, but aware that there was some sort of agenda gaining ground across this nation, at least, when cities become eligible for federal funding under some sort of Dream Initiative and downtown overhaul. The word DREAM was an acronym, and agenda acronyms do set of an alarm for me, because the actual words get lost very quickly. Somehow in this, however; the downtowns are still basically deserted, but the Railroad Crossings are changed. There is no more whistle and there is a slab of concrete prohibiting turning around at the crossing. Now, call me paranoid, but I think train whistles are a safety feature. I also think silent trains through town seem ominous. Highway 71 has now been renamed to Highway 49, and I know several people who still refer to Old 71. I know someone who has told me, her house was literally moved for the "new highway" when 71 was built. Now 71 is 49 and there are no more turn offs or even median paths between official exits. Big new chain link fenced area just south of all this highway overhaul seems to be surrounding new projects in yet what used to be a farm!
