DOT Gate 3.jpg

This is my city vehicle. It's sitting on a city street, which, although it's gravel, it is a street nonetheless. 

To the right you will notice a CSX rail line and the city paved street ends at the track, becomes a private access road to a CSX-owned warehouse. 

Somehow, somewhere, someone with the NCDOT got the idea to install this yellow access gate which, when closed, blocks entrance to the private CSX property, from which trucks normally enter and exit at all times of day and night.

When the gate is open, it extends 13' into a 2-way roadway that is less than 30' across. I purposely put my care there to snap this photo. 

Between me and CSX, we're still trying to figure out who authorized this, how does NC DOT think they can gate a private access road and, at the same time, create a hazard with the gate extending across another road.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
