Satire by Eric Curl
April 19, 2025 – In a generous display of goodwill, the city of Tybee Island is welcoming Orange Crush visitors by helping them appreciate the many sights along the city’s main street, Butler Avenue, when they may otherwise go straight to the beach. By graciously closing lanes and putting up barriers, visitors are forced to drive around Butler in an endless loop looking for a parking space, providing ample opportunity to view such landmarks as the local grocery store, benches with advertisements, the occasional sea turtle statue and multiple real estate yard signs.

We on our little stretch of 6th Ave are horrified that cars we encouraged to park here are being ticketed. That never happens when Lewis Avenue hosts Halloween. Our whole street of neighbors came out in support of the event. The kids have been respectful and friendly. It’s a shame that we have to pay lip service…”oh, you can have a permit, but we’ll make it impossible to park.”
