Constructionpalooza Part 2

Posted on the 15 January 2013 by Real Talk @talkrealdebate2012

constructionA few months ago I ranted about what I have coined “Constructionpalooza.”  The abundance of unfinished construction projects that seemingly never ended had annoyed me to no end.  I understand that roads, sidewalks and other public areas have to be renovated every once and awhile.  What I don’t understand is why certain construction projects seem to NEVER end.

For example, there has been a construction project near my house sinceMAY in which workers are renovating the sidewalks.  Yes, theSIDEWALKS.  They are still working at it.  STILL 

I don’t get it.  As I drove past them digging the same area, over and over again, a thought dawned on me.  Maybe, just maybe, this nine-month project is really an archaeological dig.  There could be dinosaur fossils nearby.  Who I’m I to get in the way of science?  That seems to be most logical explanation at this point.

I though with the winter season upon us the construction site would end, but to no avail it continues.  Lucky me.

Are there any construction projects by your house or on the way to work that have been going on for what seems like forever?
