What's news to you is news to us
A truck that's too tall attempts to drive under a bridge that's too low and gets stuck. Happens all the time around here, especially at the railroad overpass near Natty Greene's. Or here, as Amy Dominello noted yesterday. We don't do much with them because they occur so frequently, but clearly, the wisdom of the crowd tells us we're wrong.
Amy's story and photo were linked on Fark yesterday afternoon at 5:42. So far, the link has sent us some 39,000 referrals.
Don't leave the Fark link without reading some of the gazillion comments. Who knew there was so much little to say about a truck snagged by an overpass?

Fark readers are easily amused. Don't ask me how I know that.

Why not convince the city to set up web cams at these bridges, they could sell ads. It would be more fun that watching folks in Center City Park (good quality and motion) or on the highway (no motion, but you can see the backups).

Now that idea has legs. I'll pass it to Sandy for action.

Fark is a little too close to snark. The offbeat links are generally pretty good, but when one of the submitters adds "Duke (stinks)" to every single link he submits, it's a little irritating.
