M.I.S. Carpool Procedures
Many Overheardians have warned me about the carpool lines at McCulloch Intermediate School. I know all the stories are true because I just received a blast email from Assistant Principal Richard Bohac about pick up and drop off procedures. There are 11 bullet points in addition to this handy map with colorful arrows marking proper traffic flow. Here are a few themes from his e-mail:
- NO LOADING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS!!
- DO NOT LOAD IN MIDDLE LANES!
- NO STANDING AND LOADING AT STOP SIGN ON BINKLEY.
- No Standing or Parking on crosswalks, yellow traffic bumps or yellow striped corners.
-
NO PARKING in Queue lanes.
Please tell me it’s not so bad.
Northpark Nothings
For no particular reason, I thought I’d post a couple of random thoughts I had while being dragged along by my wife and seven-year-old through Northpark last night.
Metro Diner Has Cheap Food Today
As noted in our article about the closing of Metro Diner in Preston Center, the restaurant is rolling back its prices to 1963 levels today and tomorrow. It officially closes on Friday.
Someone gave me a sheet with the prices, but I seem to have misplaced it. All I remember is hamburgers going for like 50 cents.
