It’s a little like the weather, an evergreen icebreaker. Turn your ear to the Midwest, and you’ll hear it on the wind: “They keep putting in these roundabouts.”
As usual Tim a good read. As for me and roundabouts Not So Good !!! I drove up to Stow 31 years for my job and had to travel the Tallmadge Circle morning and evening. It always turned into a mini Daytona 500. Cars traveled double wide and if you got caught on the inside lane you may need a couple of laps to get off. There was no mercy shown by any driver. As for the Hartville roundabout Not So Good!!! The first day it opened I was heading towards the Hartville Hardware and met a car coming at me from the wrong direction. I locked them up and the little old lady ended up in the center with damage. Also there is a daily drag strip double wide in front of the Hartville Kitchen to see who can cut off the driver first before the single lane roundabout. Not So Good !!! Seen drivers wipe out the signs and end up in the center crashed. I really enjoy hearing thoughts on life. For me NO PRAISE FOR ROUNDABOUTS !!!
Interesting. I was doing some study for a paper on the new “young adult” stage of life and its more recent development and it ties in perfectly with what you’re noting. Let’s workshop it!
great work as always. And for those not in Hartville, I can confirm the accuracy of the poem.
I knew if Hartville got roundabouts, any town would. Now in North Canton, we have them popping up everywhere. I tend to like them...
