Last of Day One


Another repeat of a shot I posted right before the construction. This is the pavement at the SW corner seeing daylight for the first time since September 2005. Those of you going to Meet The Candidates sessions ... be sure to ask Jones what he was thinking when he screwed this up so badly. Or not thinking, more like.

Parkville's First Residental Loading Dock


Taken from the east edge of my place. You ever seen a more poorly-designed structure? How hard would it have been to dig this garage deeper into his own property? Just think, Platte County Voters, you can have this sort of planning and foresight on the County Commission!

Reconstruction Day One


Weather was brilliant today, just perfect for correcting the long overdue alley changes. Compare this pic to the one below of the same shot. You can click on each photo and make way bigger.

One last "before" pic


A picture taken from the 5th St. entrance, looking west. Nice spring colors. But note how that genius Jeff Jones tilted his illegal alley changes to make sure we'd have water runoff issues. You can see the alley's 'horizon' contrasted with the background.
