Some gentle observations

Charlottesville, when you drive on the 250 Bypass heading east or west, please drive at least the speed limit. 5 mph over would even be better! There is no harm in going 60 mph in a 55 zone - especially if you drive in the left lane. You're "driving" me crazy.


Smart Cars of Cville - Why are there so many of you? I've seen blue ones, black ones, yellow ones, even a convertible smart car! You're cute and Europe loves you, but don't be crying when you run through a red light and get hit by a Suburban.

To the mom who goes for her morning jog on Park Street between 8:30 - 9:00 am with her newborn and toddler in car seats inside the stroller: Please, for the safety of yourself, your babies, and the drivers around you, pick a different time of day to jog. OR change your route. Park Street crossing over 25o is one of the busiest and messiest places to be at those hours of the day. You look great, keep up the jogging, but you are scaring every one around you by plowing into the streets with that monstrous stroller.

Megan,

Nice writing. I tripped across here today and enjoyed reading. Good suggestions! During 3rd Year at the U. I lived on Watson Ave. (the first street past the bypass), two houses down from Park...it's always been a mess in the morning.
