They talk funny and have a funny look on their faces when they are passing by this way.

I doubt Pontoon would want to be a part of all of that. I am depressed enough that the bluff couldn't be enough of a barrier. They had to incorporate some of the bottom land that they look down upon and take their opportunities for growth away and any self-determination from Mitchell and Poag.
Imagine the frightful sight of an Edwardsville sign placed near the tracks on Pontoon Road, or as you're leaving Granite City on 162.
