There’s not a whole lot to this story; this is one of those “Morning Edition” news-of-the-weird things, so substance is minimal.
But I thought it was awesome.
It seems that Ames, Iowa, home to Iowa State University – and thereby a mass of 18-23 year olds (stretch that to 25 in case someone else tries the “Not-Quite Patented Matthew Trisler Maybe Five but Probably More Like Six Years to Graduation” plan) – needed to rectify a problem.
If there’s one thing that can be said about masses of 18-25 year olds, it’s that they like their beer. And the curb at the main delivery point for most of Ames’ beer kegs was getting a little smashed up.
I don’t know – the story doesn’t tell – whether the city has replaced the concrete curb before, but they decided that over time, they’ll save money by instead replacing it with a curb made out of recycled rubber. Playground material. But for drunks.
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy….
