H is for Hiatt Street and Heavy Load

Today, we see one HEAVY load on Hiatt Street. The truck is overloaded with brick landscaping chips. By the time we got back for this photo, it appeared that part of the load had already been emptied. Regardless, it is one heavy load, with the back bumper proped up to keep from overloading the shocks. Skies were sunny and people were out working on Hiatt Street on Sunday, the day before Greensboro got its March 2nd snowstorm.

Hiatt Street parallels Spring Garden Street and the railroad tracks. Some of  its houses are over 100 years old. Other dwellings, like the ones in the above photo, are newer. It is a neighborhood full of everything from student housing to small businesses. The old 10,000 square ft. Rolane Factory, almost 100 years old, is also located on Hiatt Street. We'll try to get back to photograph it.

In the meantime, today is ABC Wednesday and H is for Hiatt Street, and heavy load. (See our A-G entries, here and other ABC Wednesday entries around the world, here).

I lived on that street in elementary school, 1952.

Would they be able to drive the load away if they need to keep the back propped up like that?

Nice use of garden edge scallops! Creative thinkers drive that truck.
