City shutting me down

[mac]

The city is having a 3 day festival and will close the entrance for it. Only good thing I’d it will also close that stinking Starbucks.

What about your alley entrance?

 

[mac]

Yes the back alley is open, but most don’t use it. For a couple of days it won’t be that bad and I can look at all the pretty girls. May have sold the wash yesterday. Talked to a real interested buyer for an hour.

The festival is a big hit. My question is why did the city close off four blocks where nothing was going on?

I think that would have to be something you'd have to ask the city.

Mac & others,

Back in the late 70s or early 80s. I remember when the city did piping infrastructure type of work where their "technique then "was to delay opening the street for a couple of months because of "pretesting etc." An advantage can be having a corner lot. It was extremely tough to do but we rerouted "with extensive temporary signage" across our boulevard to avoid closing the car wash.

Mac & others,

I was shocked when I shared with a sometimes local car wash installer-maintainer person ... recently related something to me. When I told him about when I recently firmly steered the contractor & gang of engineers responsible for our street's "recently replaced water mains" (last fall) making sure they did a whole lot better than a temporary garden hose which might be okay for a different type of business &/or residence.

The local machine shop person told me about the owners of that specific local car wash who actually put up with "the equivalent of temporarily" shutting down the car wash portion of their business. To be fair maybe the owner(s) were just caught "off guard"!

Wow ... mep is not just the ultimate helpful car wash expert for us ... he is also an expert at grammer!

On my previous post "back then" was to show that their methods have improved in the sense that they have isolated their piping better along with their "replacement technique" so "too long of a stretch" of waiting to test the infrastructure water pipes was no longer necessary.

Why don’t you use your wash and property for parking. I bet you could get at least $20 per car.
