I wonder how long it'll stay up there?
You get to see a lot of things working in downtown Marquette. You get to see all the tourists, you get to see all of the shoppers, you get to see all the banners and flags flown, and, on occasion, you get to see something like this--
Yup, that's a traffic cone sitting on the roof of Range Bank's ATM across the street from the station. It's been there for almost three weeks now. How do I know how long it's been? Well, three weeks ago there were traffic cones around the building where I work because they were replacing windows on the floors above me. At one point one of the cones moved from our side of the street to atop Range Bank's ATM.
And if I had to bet money on it, I'd lay odds that at one point a drunk college student was walking up Front Street, saw the traffic cones, and thought “you know, I bet the traffic cone would be happier on top of the ATM”, and proceeded to move it there.
Because, you know, stuff like that happens in downtown Marquette after most of us are safely tucked in for the night. That's another one of the things you get to see while working and living around here.
The company that replaced our windows never came back to look for it, and it's not bothering anyone sitting on top of the ATM, so it wouldn't surprise me if it sits up there for an extended period of time. I'll keep an eye on it, and report back. In the meantime, the next time you're driving down the Front Street hill and happen to notice there's an orange traffic cone on the top of the Range Bank ATM building...
Well, now you know where it came from.
Have a great (and hopefully) traffic cone-free weekend!
