Boys and Their Toys

The project at Park & Seventh has brought some unusual equipment to Municipal Lot 7, next to my building.

Apparently this scary apparatus is meant to chew up streets. The machine itself had some missing teeth and other signs of wear, but was obviously still effective.

However, it is not without its warnings, due to its massive powers.

The dangers abound.

The street-chewer-upper made only a cameo appearance last week, but we were still impressed. The project is still adding to the traffic snafus in the middle of Plainfield, but the results may well be worth the inconvenience.
