When the City announced that they were going to rebuild the main traffic artery 1/2 a block from my house I imagined the nice new pavement void of massive pot holes and vaulted pavement... I wasn't thinking of the dirty mess we would have all summer long.
Add to that this Fall work began on replacing the grass surface of Corbett Field (a historic ball park) immediately across the street from my home with artificial turf. I had no idea what a huge and dirty job that was going to be.
This has all added up to a whole year of not being able to open the windows for a whole year, items being left outside for even one day being covered in dust/dirt, and many trips to the car wash. Not to mention some very interesting traffic detour just to get home or to work.
It will all be a wonderful blessing in the end (hopefully by the end of November) as we will have a beautiful new road close to our home and a dirt and dust free ball park across the street.
My hats off to the City of Minot ND for their forward thinking and taking care of these huge projects even though these are not the best economic times for our area.
