The excessive noise due to construction on the mall has totally decreased productivity among white collar workers, but that is not important. The important thing is getting done on time.
The group that got the 7.5 million dollar contract has contracted out to non-C-Ville people. No wonder things are moving so quickly. People are working on Sundays, and when it rains. I seem to recall that when the half a block project next to Chap’s was getting done by locals that a) work was almost never occurring, b) it took about twice as long as expected, and c) no one ever worked on a weekend.
My how things have changed.
Along with that change comes the possibility of the next big city burn down. As we know, locals love to smoke.
Unfortunately, many of the smoker trash cans are now out of reach, or are entirely removed. Thus, butts get thrown all around. The mall is now almost impassable to fire engines, and hydrants are all surrounded by the dreaded green walls.
This combination of facts can only lead to one thing.
