NASKAR Coming to
Longview?

As
debate rages on over plans to bring a Lowe's
Hardware store to Longview, one forward-thinking group has
proposed a sensible alternative.
"Let's get
a NASKAR track instead," said an unnamed,
unauthorized spokesperson for an undisclosed secret civic
organization dedicated to the betterment of the local
community, and bowling team. "People worry about traffic from a hardware
store. Just wait until the NASKAR track
opens. It will be ten times worse, and talk about
noise?"
Earlier this month,
by stealth and dark of
night (or perhaps it wasn't) a group of public spirited
citizens, who may or may not be associated with the secret
civic organization, reportedly went to the site of the
proposed Lowe,s Hardware store on Ocean Beach Highway and
installed a boldly painted four by eight foot sign
congratulating Longview on the future NASKAR track coming in
2005.
"How else will we get a track
here?" the unnamed spokesperson wanted to know. "Think
of the sign as a really big, really flat nest egg
like they used to put in hens' nests to encourage them to
lay eggs. It's the same principle, only you don't need a
rooster."
