Try to park in the middle of the lines in parking spaces. Too many don’t do that and you’re just asking for dings on your vehicle.
There are too many bugs at Marysville’s Movies in the Park. And they start too late. Next year, how about moving the location somewhere like Asbery Field and having them only in August when they can start early enough for kids to enjoy them.
Can any motorcyclist just drive the speed limit straight down a street and not speed and swerve back and forth?
Why can’t the city make room for right-turn lanes at major intersections? We waste so much time and gas there. To Jeff Seibert and Mariana Maksimos for not participating in The Marysville Globe’s primary election coverage. We noticed you were able to do it for the Voter’s Pamphlet.
To Jeffrey Mann of Marysville who defrauded Target customers of more than $700,000.
