WSB, just checking to see if you know anything? Yesterday 1.10.24 at 4:45 pm. I was heading West on Oregon Street right by the Senior Center. There was a Mini Metro Bus right in front of the center with its Butt of the small bus sticking out into the street. All of the cars going East Bound on Oregon Street had to come into our lane of traffic to go around it. Today 1.11.24 I am going to work 6:30 am and that same but is in the same spot with its Butt sticking out into the traffic with its flashers on. I had to go around it. This can’t be the same bus?????? Its was parked exactly how I remember it being from last night coming home. Just thought it might be worth checking out?
