Back again friends, to say more about Ashton.  We took a break from the meeting because someone brought a vegetable platter (true story) to a morning meeting.  Everyone expects coffee and donuts.  We like to get hyped in these typical boring meetings!  Ashton industrial is served by turnpike, rail and ship.  The railroad and ship terminals are at opposite sides of the industry to relieve the traffic congestion.

Truckers were paramount in mind for their ease to get to and from the railroad and ship terminals.  The ship cargo terminal is fed by the underground express route making groung travel almost pleasant.  And, yes you do see a remnant from a discarded exit ramp that in forever captured under the railroad terminal.  We thought of making a story of this being an underground vault from a gangster and getting that guy to come and dig it out... but no.  Work on the entrance and exit to the ship cargo terminal has succeeded in preventing apposing traffic snarls.

The railroad cargo terminal is another story.  Traffic enters and crosses itself to get out.  Normally, this would be a problem, but upon extended inspection it works quite nice.  Attempts were made to reverse the flow and all sorts of logistical headaches ensued.  We ate many vegetable platters that night!

Speaking of vegetable platters, I've got word our donuts and coffee await our presence and we can resume the meeting.  A heads up... I can tell you the Drosovilas Stadium was rejected because of an ₡18,000 shortfall.  Don't know what caused that.  And now we are hearing desires of a circus, thermal spa and an opera house.  Well, that would sure give variety to the entertainment!

Have a Happy Day!

Mayor (Acting) Haylo Stachoo
