Worst Roads in Indiana

Apparently paved roads have not been invented in East Central Indiana. I'm talking about Muncie. I know Muncie has had some economic woes over the past decade with the closing of a General Motors transmission plant, Borg Warner transmission plant and Ball Canning leaving town, but enough is enough.

I believe to get businesses into a town such as Muncie you need to have roads that are suitable for business. How would you feel if you were looking at East Central Indiana as a new home for your business and the roads were all potholes. I wouldn't want to build it here.

This isn't just Muncie, but Muncie is the pothole heaven. Anderson and Marion both do not have the best of roads. And, again, it's East Central Indiana.

People in Muncie do not want progress, just look at all the liquor and tobacco stores in this town. I'd say the majority of Munciites drink to forget their sorry lives in Muncie.

Just nearby are Kokomo, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. These cities have pretty good roads with some exceptions to some Indy streets, but most are a hundred times better than East Central Indiana. In Kokomo, the city doesn't like to just patch the holes, they actually repave the entire block. Why can't Muncie do that? In Kokomo they actually have sidewalks for people to walk and have REAL crosswalks. In Muncie, the locals have to paint their own crosswalks. [story]

If it wasn't for Ball State University, Muncie would no longer exist, it would be a ghost town.

The City of Muncie doesn't care about its responsibilities and only wants money. Where does the money go? Apparently not to its city streets.

Get with it! Pave your streets!
