Double Trouble

As if long suffering WestSiders haven't had enough aggravation with the "Bridge", the second shoe is about to drop. See yesterday's post. Our friends from Platte County are moving forward with the construction on Barry Road west of Potomac, possibly this summer. Besides more frustration and work arounds, the potential insult to the water shed via runoff is huge. Will Platte County play nice? We shall see.
