Road signs can’t point out town’s free WiFi

LOUISVILLE, Neb. - A small town’s plans to become an on-ramp to the information superhighway have run into a roadblock with the Nebraska Department of Roads.

A traveler with a laptop or an Internet-enabled cell phone can park along Main Street, sit in the car, latch onto a wireless Internet signal and start typing.

“I do see a lot of people parked in front of our store using their laptops,” said Dana Muntz, owner of Envy Salon, 132 Main St. “By having the wireless Internet we have on Main Street, it’s a great bonus for any town to have. It’s what people want.”

Bonus or not, the merchants learned that state roads officials were not fond of the town’s effort to install promotional road signs along state Highway 50 running past Louisville.

  • Meh.....

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
