Ever since Laura and I got married, the road outside our neighborhood has been under construction. That was back in August... We're talking 9 months people!
Why am I making a big deal out of this? There are two main reasons...
1] People have a hard time finding our house... The simplest ways to get to it are blocked off, so I have to talk to people on the phone and guide them in to our neighborhood... And sometimes even THAT doesn't help. haha
2] To get to the places that we need to go to get stuff, we have to go WAY out of our way... I will post some screen shots below to show what I mean. Walmart is pretty much a straight shot from our house down Vandament Ave. Well, Vandament has been closed off since August... So... Yeah. I think the city of Yukon should give us money to compensate us for all the gas we've used driving out of our way to get places...
This is how a normal trip with no construction should look. Appr. 2.5 miles
This is our first alternate via main street. Appr. 3 miles, but takes a lot longer due to so many stop lights...
This is our 2nd alternate. Looks like a really long trip, but it actually takes around the same amount of time as our first alternate. Appr. 5 milesYUKON - YOU OWE US!!
Now, I've said all that to say this: THEY FINALLY OPENED VANDAMENT TODAY!
BOUT TIME!!
