Well, THAT was embarrassing.. we hit a little speed bump last night and ended up on the morning news:
The Rome Daily Chronicle
"LOCAL WOMEN LOSE EVERYTHING ON BUMPY JOURNEY ACROSS ROME"
Box truck filled with JSL treasures reportedly sheds contents along 2nd Avenue
ROME, GA — What began as a routine relocation quickly turned into what witnesses are calling “one of the most catastrophic moving incidents Rome has seen in years.”
Three local women were reportedly transporting the contents of a JSL storage unit to the organization’s new home base at Restoration Rome when disaster struck.
The culprit? 2nd Avenue.
Despite the best efforts of a generously donated box truck from ForEvergreens, the combination of an open rear gate and Rome’s famously “character-building” road conditions proved too much for the cargo.
Totes. Folding chairs. Event supplies. Decorations. Mystery JSL objects accumulated over years of service.
Gone.
Scattered across Rome.
“Honestly, we probably should have just taken the long way,” said one unidentified JSL member, who declined to comment further while watching a folding chair bounce down the street.
Traffic officials reportedly struggled to contain the growing debris field as the three women attempted to recover what remained of their belongings.
Fortunately, three brave men arrived on the scene and assisted with the heavier items, saving the women from what experts estimate could have been several additional hours of painstaking labor.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the three men have since been granted Honorary JSL Member status.
Their credentials are currently being printed.
BREAKING: IT WAS ALL A LIE.
No JSL treasures were harmed, no belongings were lost on 2nd Avenue, and thankfully, no folding chairs were spotted making their way toward the river.
We’re officially moved into our new home base at Restoration Rome!
A huge thank you to Forevergreen Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance for generously donating the box truck, and to our three honorary JSL members for lifting, carrying and generally saving the day. 💚
New home. Same mission. New chapter.
