Cordele — Fortunately, I no longer have children attending CCHS that have to deal with this problem. I however think there could have been a better way of handling the road construction without completely closing the road. There are businesses in that area that have suffered in an already struggling economy. One place of business that gave the people of this city a place to go eat, shop and enjoy themselves, closed its doors because customers found it to difficult to get to the establishment. Once again Cordele has proved that it will not support a place for family entertainment, giving young and old a place to go without going to another town. I travel 24th Ave. every morning and the traffic has always been a challenge during school days. It is now terrible. On a good note the crossing guards do a fine job keeping the traffic moving.

This whole deal to me has been crazy. First surely they could work around a one lane closure. Why in the world did they just start on the road a few days before school started back. They had all summer break. My daughter told me one day last week that they saw them actually working on the road. Wow!

If you want to see a traffic back up go to the 24th and 90 hwy junction @ 745 in the AM. No-one directing traffic there. Probably going to be a wreck there before road is reopened.By the way the lady that directs traffic on 24th at Frontage is great.

I still can't believe that this town allowed this contractor to just shut down a road as important as this one.

Mr. Man is peculiar
Men are peculiar creatures. I suppose, now that I’ve laid that provocative declaration on the table, you’ll want solid proof to back it up, though proving it will not be a difficult task; all I have to do is point to…Mr. Man.

Life, liberty, and .….accessories?
Spartanburg, South Carolina, is not the cultural center of the universe. I am qualified to make that statement based on my experiences in Spartanburg which include The Hearon Traffic Circle, The Midnight Sun, and Wofford College.

Mr. Man and childhood obesity
Mr. Man has a fat grandson. The kid lives in Texas, so we rarely see him, but according to pictures on Facebook, he is fat.

Life, liberty, and .….springtime?
Spring is officially here. I don’t care about the calendar, the baseball season, the basketball playoffs, Easter, when the Confederate Jasmine blooms, when the robins come through, when the sand hill cranes fly, or what the temperature does.

Victim thanks officers
(A story about a robbery at gunpoint ran in Thursday’s Cordele Dispatch. As is the paper’s policy, the victim was not identified. He submitted a letter of thanks, but asked that he still not be identified.
We are honoring his request because of the circumstances. Sheriff Donnie Haralson and other officers know who he is).

Vacations are a time to get away and escape the humdrum of your normal life. Some couples I know like to take a trip about once a quarter, just get out of town.
