Speaking of Hawthorne’s Would-Be Bike Rack…

Honestly, I hate to be a pessimist. I pestered Mount Pleasant Town Hall for a bike rack at Hawthorne Station–indeed, a striking foil to the gigantic SUVs parked in the lot–and after several weeks and “we don’t own the station” declarations, they said it was on order.

All good, right?

I dunno. On Friday, June 15, the town hall clerk told me it would be there in six weeks. But I have this glum feeling the thing’s going to sit in its box in some weed-strewn lot for weeks and weeks, until Town Hall 1. figures out where to put it, and 2. actually puts it.

Six weeks has it arriving in late July. If the thing’s not in place by Labor Day, I’m going to be very unhappy.
