Early Candidate for MVP

So, did the sidewalk fairy come to your house this week?

These orange X's are a rite of spring in our fair Oakwood.  But let it be said, smooth sidewalk surfaces are the oWAR of city service metrics, because they are indicative of soooooo many other positive parameters. Like sidewalk plowing. Like fewer school days missed because of said cleared sidewalks. So I support the sidewalk inspection regime. 100%.  I do, however, wish some cheeky public servant would be more creative in marking the derelict squares:

That. Would. Be. Eeeepiiiic.

I note as well that our sidewalk fairy did make a pass along Aberdeen Avenue, as well:

Do you recognize this beloved driveway apron as the motor entrance to historic Nance Bradds Field? Note you the X's on said apron??  Looks like the schools will need to do a little work on the sidewalks.

Oh, would that the sidewalk fairy had taken just a few minutes to walk around our beloved asphalt. What would s/he have seen...?

Here's a suggestion from the Jolly Green Sidewalk Giant:

In other words: FIX THE PAVEMENT, SCHOOL BOARD. Whomever gets this done, gets my vote for 2014 League MVP.
