Some of the cars in the Democrat lot should be swept away, either by the rising river, or at least, by the health department. Some of those cars wouldn't be stolen if they were plucked down in the middle of the poorest country in the world, with the keys in the ignition and the motor running. On second thought, perfect for Memphis.

The company is being proactive in this case, and they do deserve some credit.

The back democrat lot is in dire need of repaving. They just did the front half, where the hub workers park, and maybe this will be the catalyst for them to bite the bullet and get the pilot's lot done as well.

Maybe if this drill works out they will use it again when they do decide to repave the back lot.

If they combine these two events and get it done now I would really give them some credit.

They will save paving the backlot for the next time they want to open a new FDA.

Went through the Democrat lot yesterday noon--no problems noted in the lot itself, but I didn't scope out the nearby creeks. Cresting of the Mississippi still forecast to be on May 10th. Stay tuned.

How many cars are still in the lot? Mine is up against the front fence. Hopefully it will survive.

Was there 2 days ago. Still 80% full. Curious why the Democrat hubbiite parking lot is not closed? There many spots that are lower than the pilot lot.

Guessing most of the hubbiites dont park their car and go on 14 day trips. Or only visit their vehicle 2 or 3 tiimes a year.
