Jackson Street (part 2)

The City has now declared Jackson Street off-limits to any person intending to hold vigils for the King of Pop. Moonwalking is now to be confined to Joulwan Park's skateboard arena due to large number of injuries. The Warne Clinic public relations administrator stated that its emergency triage was being overwelmed with overweight people complaining of sprains, bruises and contusions which resulted from failed moonwalk attempts on the hilly Jackson Street.

The number of people that filled Jackson Street on Friday night was believed to be in the hundreds. It was reported to be the largest crowd in Pottsville since last Cruise Night or maybe even since the last "cheddar cheese" give-away at the Salvation Army. East Side historians rivaled the number of people to the day the East Side swimming pool closed and everyone walked over to the JFK Pool blocking Route 61 for four hours. Anyone interested in further reading on that historical exodus can read an earlier blog on this site, "Let My People Swim."
Lastly, from the Eagles Club, the Pottsville's Surgeon General, interrupting his normal Friday night routine, tweeted a medical alert on his blackberry. He warned that any continued vigil and moonwalking could be catastrophic to the metropolitan area as the normal flow of police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and Domino deliveries is jeopardized, bringing gridlock to the vast area east of the Boulevard.
Another of his tweets indicated he needed an olive for his martini if anyone was passing by Second Street. Green, not black.
