Point Lookout Oddities

Strange things
about this little corner
of the universe
The speed limit is 15 MPH

Why?
Who knows

But it's not that bad. The place is so little that - even at this ridiculously impossible speed - you can go from one end of town to the other in less than 5 minutes. By the way; the police occasionally enforce this silliness. People get speeding tickets for recklessly whizzing along at a blazing 25 MPH.

They don't deliver the mail

Again - Why?
Again - Who knows

And again - it's not that bad. This place is little. Almost anybody can walk to our Post Office in about 10 minutes. But nobody walks. Instead they hop in their car. Floor the thing all the way up to that blazing 15 MPH and drive 500 or 1000 FEET to the P.O.

Nobody walks on the sidewalk

For The 3rd Time -
Why?
For The 3rd Time -
Who Knows

Actually, people DO walk on the sidewalk on Lido Blvd. - our version of Broadway. But on every other street, everybody walks in the street. This has been a fact of life since the beginning of time.

You can always tell a newcomer, or visitor, by the fact that you see them walking in that wholly unlikely place - the sidewalk. Don't fret. They learn fast. In a day or two, they're walking down the middle of the street too.

Come to think about it, maybe that's why we have the 15 MPH speed limit. To keep drivers form mowing down all the people walking in the middle of the street.

Maybe A Few
Nothing Really Big

For the most part Point Lookout is pretty normal. Take a look at other parts of the About Point Lookout page. You might see a few other little quirks.
