Wide Load Ahead

Navigating narrow Washington Street just a block east of the courthouse square in downtown Greencastle can be tough enough on a regular basis with the king-size pickups trucks in operation these days or when semis have to pass each other along the tight streetscape that allows parking on both sides. But throw the presence of a wide load into the mix, and it gets even tougher to navigate safely as the driver of the mini-van (at right) found out on a recent afternoon. Luckily, he and others behind him were able to veer off into fortuitously vacant parking spaces on the south side of the street to avoid any serious confrontation.
