New Albany's new slogan: "Truck Through City" ... Part 79: Bored of Works duty arousal duly begins now.

Last week, chirpy chairman Warren Naps skillfully guided the Bored of Works through a difficult digression about civic sidewalk irresponsibility, and as we continue to search in vain for the specific city ordinance being referenced -- it may well have been mistaken for a house, demolished and taken to the landfill -- here are a few kilt-lifting, cheesecake photos of the heavy machines that dictate the pace of life in New Albany.

Check it out, Warren ... it's an oversized load.

But I thought these oversize loads were supposed to have escorts with flashing lights? Maybe they just forgot.

It's a little known fact, but as consistently revealed in surveys of visitors to New Albany, one of the most sought-after photo ops are those fortunate times when speeding J & J Pallet trucks provide helpful modernistic contrast to historic church architecture. People just love it. It's positively artistic -- right, Irv?

Wait, how'd that dump truck get in there?

Ah, now this is more like the usual view of Tiger Trucking, speedily extracting value from Matt Chalfant's downtown urban investment ... and providing the Bored of Works and Irv Stumler alike with a daily allotment of pure metallic Jollies.

Until next time, don't forget: In New Albany, you NEVER really have to leave the interstate.
