Comments on: Finally, OBX To Get A Mid-Currituck Bridge! http://www.trevordickerson.com/2008/02/23/finally-obx-to-get-a-mid-currituck-bridge/ A Simple Guy Living In Short Pump, Virginia Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:44:36 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Pea Tear Griffin http://www.trevordickerson.com/2008/02/23/finally-obx-to-get-a-mid-currituck-bridge/comment-page-1/#comment-1035 Pea Tear Griffin Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:38:10 +0000 http://www.trevordickerson.com/wordpress/2008/02/23/finally-obx-to-get-a-mid-currituck-bridge/#comment-1035 Guess you guys will just have to build a new Corolla further up the Outer Banks. Real P.I.T.A. to make people drive 2 extra hours to get to Corolla though. Oh well, I live in Southern Shores so I don't give a rat's ass about this. BTW I love how this site censors the word "ass" even when it's part of another word. Reminds me of a time my associate and I took a glassware class outside where we assembled on the grass, crabgrass to be exact, back around the time of the Reagan assassination attempt. Our assignments involved making glass bass, assorted hourglasses and wineglasses, and glass carcasses. I met a nice young lass. I was too embarrassed to make a move, since I assumed I wasn't assured she would assent. My grades weren't great as I wasn't very assiduous, but I did amass enough extra credit to be assured I'd pass when they assessed me. Not to be crass, but the teacher's assistant was a jackass.

I feel sorry for folks in Aydlett. Goodbye Corolla, you are now Va Beach. Tourists are King. What a shame. And what's up with a Spanish company getting the contract?? Oh well, think how much the state will get in tolls?? And how many illegals will have work in this recession. Build, build, build. I feel sorry for folks in Aydlett.

Sure we could build a 700 million dollar bridge to alleviate traffic, but whats the point if hundreds of people are cut off from the mainland except by ferry and numerous more killed when the Bonner Bridge collapses? The Bonner Bridge is rated 2 out of 100 at the last check, the bridge that collapsed a few months ago that was all over the news was rater at 50 out of 100. Bonner Bridge was built in 1963, with a 30 year max lifetime, if we don't stop worrying about saving time versus worrying about saving lives we will all regret it.

Don't blink because you'll pass through it before you know it. We too have a nice quiet community that will be totally destroyed once this bridge is put through the middle of it. Since we don't have the money to spend buying politicians and so-called "Bridge Studies" we have to rely on grass roots tactics.(Writing Letters). I moved to Aydlett 17 years ago to get away from the hustle and bustle of the OBX Beaches. To no avail. The same reason you love the Outer Banks is the same reason I love Aydlett. It's a beautiful place to visit or live. And we would like to keep it that way. When people buy property on the Currituck Outer Banks they buy it for it's beauty and solitude. Call me old fashion but I like things just the way they are. The problem with todays society is that everyone is in a hurry. Hurry to do this; Hurry to do that. No one can just slow down and enjoy this prestine area. I'm married and have two children . Our community means a lot to me and my family. Just like the nice folks in Duck,Southern Shores and Corolla we too don't want our community in Aydlett destroyed. The "powers to be" have pretty much spoken and our fate has been sealed. But we will not go down without a fight and I guess you can say you can chalk this one up to greed and impatience.
