Only people that have a sense of humor, and can still laugh while the ship is sinking.

I know I didn't get your vote, but I'm just having a little fun, and trying to get myself in a good mood this morning.

Hope your day treats you well.

But don't you agree? That little stretch between Benton and Johnson should be called WINNING street?

Madison has its street, and there is also a Venice Avenue, Edwardsville Rd., Old Alton Road, Maryville Road, Pontoon Road?

And the taxpayers in GRANITE CITY pay taxes for streets named after other towns, and some little hamlet that doesn't exist, because Granite won out?

Now I know there's some little street hidden around 13th or 14th Street called Granite ave, a little diagonal, little known street that connects 14th and McCambridge.

But that is not what people who believe in the greatness of Granite City should stand for.

Nope... maybe a road to the treatment plant should be called Edwardsville St.... and then all of 203 should be Granite Parkway....and the little bit of Edwardsville Road that's not along 203 should also be renamed...

I know that if you believe in the Greatness of Granite you'd be with me.

No more FAILING road systems.

(It's only satire - which is my favorite genre of humor - with apologies to descendents of the FEHLING Family...)
