Signs of the Times
The new traffic circle at Benton Boulevard and St. John Avenue is almost finished and it looks wonderful. Unfortunately 20 plus signs were installed and you can hardly see it. A little bit of overkill I'd say. Our drivers over here are essentially stupid... but you can't cure that by confusing them. Note that the sign in the foreground has a sign on it explaining what the sign means.

Fifty Years Together, Thirty Years in Business
The Dairy Queen at 2635 Independence Avenue has been serving generations of Northeast residents and visitors. It has been in continuous operation for 43 years and holds that record for the Boulevard. John and Esther McMurray have owned the DQ for 30 of those years and Esther has been behind the counter for 43 years. This month they also celebrated 50 years of marriage. Wednesday a celebration was held at the DQ to honor their longevity in both areas.
The Mayor was on hand to read a proclamation honoring the couple and Lee Lambert, President of the Independence Plaza Neighborhood Association, presented them with a plaque, t-shirts and caps. Esther said she and her husband have no plans to retire and hope to keep working for several more years. And the best part? Free Dilly bars for the first 250 people and I made sure I was one of them :)
