Marion, Ohio- A Rant

I recently had the displeasure of getting lost in this town, so I would like to officially complain about it. It's a very decent sized town, big enough to have its own mall. Half of the city is just a stretch of road with the mall, some car dealerships, restauarants, ect. ect. Kind of garish, but nothing to complain about. THEN there's the other half of the town. Most of it is taken up by a large graveyard, which is necessary because apparently 2/3 of the town's residents are dead, including President Harding. This is kind of depressing, but understandable. It's the road system I really have a problem with. It seems that the original settlers, when planning the town, painted some words and numbers on the sides of their cows, gave them large amounts of alcohol, and watched them wander around.

'May-ur, I do believe that route 423 has been ob-surved humping route 95'
'Excellent, gentlemen, erect a yield sign at that very spot'

So now, when one is trying to, say, follow a road out of town, one has to make several 90 degree turns, go in the opposite direction for a bit, and look at roadsigns that apparently indicate a road turning into itself.
So basically what I'm saying is although it's probably a very charming town, the entire thing needs burned and then rebuilt on some sort of grid system.
Also, the Ohio Department of Health is apparently run by the same great minds as the now famous Ohio Department of Natural Resources. On 23 North leading up to Marion, in response to the approximately 3 people in the state who have died from West Nile Virus, is a large billboard that only says 'MOSQUITOS KILL'. I can't say that's not true, I guess, but statistically they'd save more lives with a billboard that says 'AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION KILLS'. I also think it would be ironic if someone got into a major accident hitting a deer because they were trying to figure out the billboard.

Sincerely, Erin B., A resident of a town that's only better because it's smaller
