FROM NEWS RELEASES
♦ FIVE POINTS is a gaping wound.
The 600-800 block of Harden
Street is terminally clogged, as the
intersection of Devine and Harden
streets is still a one-lane war-zone.
Avoid turning left onto Devine
from Harden — it snarls traffic for
the rest of us. Construction
equipment makes a nice addition
to the skyline.
♦ Further on up the road,
congestion in the 900-1000
BLOCK OF HARDEN has eased up.
Sidewalk and curb work is ongoing,
but last week’s funnel of insanity has
reopened into a two-lane tunnel of
love. Still avoid the dreaded left turn
out of Food Lion. It’s easier to hit a
traffic light to avoid death.
♦ The 1200 BLOCK OF MAIN
STREET is an impenetrable
wasteland to thru-traffic. Unless
you do business there or have a
delivery, just keep driving. Find a
meter oh Assembly Street and take
a walk.
♦ Taking GERVAIS STREET
BETWEEN SUMTER AND
ASSEMBLY STREETS is a great
way to soak in the State House
scenery for a few minutes, as traffic
is still one-lane. If you’re headed to
Assembly or points beyond, stay in
the left lane to avoid drunken
merging.
Businesses in the aforementioned
blocks remain open.
