Surprise paving project

Well, wouldn’t you know it? Crews are busy re-paving and repairing South Perry Street. Your alert neighborhood blogger - a trained observer by trade - was not aware of this wonderful news until she headed home last night and was detoured around Grant Park.

The street is down to one lane, northbound only, from Southeast Boulevard to the windmill - southbound drivers are being detoured. Give the city a high five for this - the street needed repair so, so badly.
