It’s that time of the month, my friends. Time to let it all out, and air your grievances for all the good little boys and girls of C-U to see. As usual, I’ll start first. I actually have two today.
To the City of Champaign Public Works department: We who live on cul-de-sacs should not be treated as second-class citizens. Repaving the street that leads into the cul-de-sac was nice of you. But please, finish the job. It looks ridiculous. I’ll even wave my rights to my driveway for a week or so. Otherwise, we’ll have to throw a little tea party in Lake Devonshire.
To Insight Cable: I don’t care if my neighbor wants high-speed Internet service. There is no way you are tearing up my yard for your customer. What gives you the right? That’s what DSL is for.

To the City of Champaign: Perhaps you should re-think your construction schedule for Green St./State St./Randolph St. for August. You may not be aware of this, but THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS RETURN THIS TIME OF YEAR and having some of the main roads all *torn up* is not super conducive to traveling about campus and Champaign. Please, try and do the repaving *any other time of year* rather than move-in week. It’s called common-sense, really….
