J.C. Relay For Life 2015 UPDATE

Maquoketa CAN, or.... CAN(T) ???

I took a walk and decided to take a few photos of so many crumble issues that seem to never be addressed.

I also see these Maquoketa CAN Stickers all over town.

Are these Stickers meant to instill some sense of betterment of our community?  

Maquoketa CAN , what??  Find and Spend lots of money on lots of special interest projects ? 

But Maquoketa CAN(T)  locate money to spend on Fixing our Streets and Sidewalks and has anyone seen how BAD our SIGNS made of Beautiful stone have been so neglected that thay are all black with mold or such....  

Makes me wonder how many look at the Maquoketa CAN Sign/Sticker/Button campaign and feel its more like Maquoketa CAN(T) ????

I do applaud the Idea and Effort of  coining a new Phrase and Mentality  like Maquoketa CAN.  Surely with best intentions, but CAN  what?

Look what Maquoketa needs to fix, if they CAN... or  CAN(T) they?

What are your thoughts.  and please keep them constructive and clean, no need for rude comments and profanity and name calling
