Lopped-off Lamppost
The attractive retro-looking lampposts were put in by the city, unlike those on Mattoon Street, which residents paid for privately. It's therefore the city's responsibility to repair them. In Springfield, that can be a death sentence.
They say the new federal court house at the end of the block will be finished in May. Is that the deadline for getting everything in the neighborhood spiffed up? At this rate, May is sounding good.
