Urban Renewal
As part of Atkins ongoing city beautification project, an 18-wheeler carrying a load of raw chicken parts to the de-boning plant was hit by a train this morning. I guess they were looking to enhance the palpable sense of doom that hangs over the town with the actual stench of imminent death. Brilliant!
I haven't made into town to see it yet, but it ought be interesting. It's just like a car accident, except with a train. But, I've still got to look.
I wonder which way the train was bound. It could make a big difference. If it was east bound, the chickens would be thrown towards the Catholic Church and some houses. West bound would sling them towards the old train depot and the main "business" district.
Does a pharmacy, a few abandoned buildings, a restaurant, and a barber shop constitute a business district?
(In case I sound too callous here, I don't think the driver or anyone else was hurt. As for the chickens, they were already dead.)

Being an editor of a trucking magazine, I was wondering about the driver. Thanks for the info at the end! :)
