        OK, just to get back to the topic at hand for a second (the drainage grate on Memorial Drive).

        I spoke to a friend of mine who is "in the know" about these kinds of things and, as I suspected, grates can be shimmed to come up to being flush with the pavement. The way to go about making this happen is to call 311 and make a complaint. I doubt that anybody would get told "job's done, too bad". So, let's stop the complaining about City workers for a few minutes, and call 311 and make a complaint. I'm betting that if 4 or 5 of us were to call, we may see some action. I'll even call myself.

        OK, I'm tired....where's my shovel so I can get back to leanin' ?

            Maybe you can take the time to explain what unionization has to do with this?

              I think this one has run its course.
