UPDATE: 4:00 PM Traffic is gridlock as the light is back out again (damn electricians don't want to work on sunny saturday's)
Amherst Town Center 2:00 PM
Town center was still pretty much gridlock when I cycled by this afternoon. But it was worse around noon when the light at Rt. 9 was not working properly, simply flashing red. Luckily the drivers negotiating the gauntlet were not smoking pot.
And strangely enough last year I cycled up to the Extravaganja around the same time and noticed a lot more smoke hanging in the air vs. today, when theoretically it is decriminalized. Hmmm...
Maybe it is just not cool anymore.
(Click to enlarge). Last year, same time.
Let me see: They send a SWAT team into Hobart Lane to keep that road open, but TWO MAJOR NUMBERED STATE HIGHWAYS (9 & 116) become impassable and the Amherst Police do NOTHING?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that they are picking sides in which side they arrest/oppress and which side they ignore....
At least the UMPD still remembers how to direct traffic by hand...
my dad's gonna be p*ss^d when he sees that picture of me tokon up last spring!
ReplyDeleteGives new meaning to the term "pot o'gold."
