Friday "My Town" shootout--INCONGRUOUS!

This week's theme for the Friday "My Town" shootout was chosen by Mary in Kansas...

INCONGRUOUS: Meaning: Out of place, ridiculous, inconsistent, contradictory

This one gave me a bit of trouble.... there's not much around here out of place! Dublin's city planner do fine work and have a great vision. Double that with the exhaustion of the first week of school (compounded by the "discovery" that my teaching schedule had changed and was teaching a different class than I was told, at a different TIME than I was told, which left three months of planning to be done in three DAYS) and this week has been one that has seen me crash on the couch each night. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find something!

As I was driving home the other day, I saw it!!

A while ago, Dublin was wanting to expand a shopping center (there was talk of even having an IKEA here!), and some of the infrastructure was placed to help this change happen. Unfortunately, the IKEA plan didn't happen, so there were some, shall we say, "loose ends" left...

I think there's not a soul in town that will have trouble missing this stop sign. ;)

  1. Yep, that's definitely out of place. Pretty cool. This week has been hard for me, but I finally found my kodak moment today while driving.

  7. Nah. Not incongruous. That sign is to stop people from jumping over the fence. (or not)
