Fear of a Toomer’s apocalypse is nothing new. In 1978, folks worried that downtown renovations would Updyke the tradition of rolling Toomer’s Corner to extinction (they’re taking away our power lines.

Clearly a Totem Pole. Was this common back in “The Day?”
Wow, that is 4 persons high! No way modern police allow that to happen. lol “You’ll hurt yourself! [Wahh.. Wahh…]” or something similarly annoying. That’s pretty awesome, though!
We have found our attractive intersection structure to roll until the Toomer’s Oaks are healthy again. They could even run around for an added challenge.
