When I moved to Hood River, there was one stoplight in the entire county: at the corner of May and 12th Streets. I’ve been told it was a recent addition to the county’s landscape.
But the next thing you know, there is a stop light at 13th and Oak; then at the eastbound and westbound exits #63 off Interstate 84; then at 12th and Brookside; and finally at 12th and Pacific. We were all reeling from all the year-round Christmas lights. With that said, for the entire time I’ve worked at the Hood River Inn, I’ve never had to encounter a stop light between home and work. That all changed today.
A county with one stoplight in 1987 has nine stoplights as of today. They illuminated the stoplights at East Marina Drive and whatever the street is named that intersects with East Marina Drive just south of the bridge to Washington, and the eastbound and westbound exits #64 off Interstate 84. There are now three stoplights between my home and work.
I am not panicked. I do remember stoplights, and know how to react to them. But what is this world coming to?
