A cement mixer chute gets hosed off Thursday after pouring concrete to fill the new sidewalk in front of Hardee's on West Main Street.
Former U.S. President Martin Van Buren is credited with saying, "It's easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't."In the case of Hardee's, it's probably much less expensive too.As many motorists in the downtown area are aware, Hardee's has been replacing its sidewalk this week. The project comes only about three months after the restaurant had new sidewalks installed as part of its rebuilding project.Unfortunately for Hardee's, the work wasn't done right the first time."The work wasn't done to TDOT standards," said McMinnville Planning and Zoning director Nolan Ming.
