Historic Sheffield Potholes

Since the leaders of Sheffield have announced that their fair city is about to embark on a new era, I will suggest they take advantage of one of their historic assets--potholes in almost every downtown street. I can see the blurb: Visit Sheffield, the pothole capital of the world.

With Ian Sanford the mayor-elect and a new golf course complex in the works, Sheffield is about to take a leap into the 21st century. No town can be expected to keep streets in excellent repair when there are no tax dollars coming in, but we do hope the powers that be will make street maintenance their top priority when these expected windfalls do make an appearance.

Congratulations to Ian Sanford on his recent election. It's a marked improvement, and we wish him the best.


What's up with this: What North Alabama community is about to go to war over the issue of incorporation? Remember, a mayor does not a metropolis make.
