Linglestown Traffic »

I know there’s a lot planned for the village, but I have one simple question: What in the hell is wrong with that traffic light at the intersection of Linglestown Road and Colonial Road?

How did I miss this?  Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame is touring the Lebanon Bologna factory for a future episode.  No word on whether or not he stopped by the puppy mills since he was in the area.
