Yeah, I guess heavy equipment tearing up the street and the stench of tar is madness to me. And I guess not going my direct route and taking side streets is a ‘workaround’ to me. But that’s just the meek in me talking, non ?

Yesterday afternoon coming home from downtown, I did have to do a crazy Albion-Dearborn-Linda workaround to get through the madness after braving one block on the sidewalk and then deciding that even the high from the tar and scaring peds just wasn’t worth it. Forgot how nice those little streets are, especially since Albion Street’s reputation is no longer tarnished by the sketchy bar of the same name. And who doesn’t smile when they go by Bird St??
