BIG TRUCK -- tiny street

The kennel Wendy works at is on a private road. "Road" is a bit of a misnomer -- it is actually an alley. It is only wide enough for two cars abreast. Parking is allowed -- it IS a private road. You can see Wendy's Camaro, and there were a half dozen more vehicles in front of it.

Anyhow, Saturday I stopped by for a visit. About to leave on my motorcycle when this TRUCK enters the alley. Which wouldn't be to bad except that (1) the road is not wide enough to safely handle such a huge rig and (2) the road is not constructed to support such a heavy rig. It is, after all, constructed to driveway or alley standards.

It was interesting watching the gut squeeze his big rig btweeen the far wall and the neighbor's car:


It is only a matter of time before (1) a big rig hits one of the cars or (2) they break the pavement.

Ugh - they HAVE already broken the pavement, before. Or at least the sewage pipes below it. I'm sure there's another entrance to that company, but for whatever reason those bastards choose not to use it. If not for those guys, the kennel folks could paint diagonal parking lines in front and make better use of the space.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the only entrance to the place. There is a cinderblock wall across the back of the property that prevents them from exiting on 225th and Meyler. I'm sure the residents there wouldn't allow it if they tried to open that up. Kelly said that it the pipe breaks again, she is just going to call a lawyer.
