Marshall Street Circle Day 17

Day 17-

In order to increase safety in the neighborhood we have included a missile silo into this traffic plan. Key leaders of Poplar Lawn Neighborhood Watch have been issued launch codes. UN inspectors have been on scene but their results are inconclusive.

First Look at the concrete circle. That isn't just any concrete curbing that is concrete aggregate.

Also to report the contractors have switched from Newports to Kool. We are unsure of what is means at this time, but we are watching the situation very carefully.

Our experts are still conducting their investigation, but at this time they believe that this mysterious symbol means that some device is going to be installed to help direct drivers in to the proper use of the circle. (Or they are installing a giant peg game courtesy of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store- our experts are evenly split on this.)

The mysterious symbols are spells that have been cast on the Public Defender's office and the library. In addition, cryptic writing north indicating that Adams will soon become a one-way street, eliminating the problem that brought about the circle in the first place. This magic, which has already been set in motion, will complete the beautification of a corner that has been used and abused for decades.

So I went and looked at the curb last night and I have to say it is fairly hideous. It looks like an institutional trashcan pebble surface. (Like the kind one sees outside of a McDonalds.) Is this standard? It goes with nothing.

Also, I am waiting on commentary regarding the new painting of the inside of the fountain---bright blue! What are we, a pool club in Boca Raton?

Seriously, Petersburg officials, if any homeowners pulled any of this crap, we'd get slapped with an ARB citation faster than you can say "Tacky." Which is why the ARB is there, cause evidently there are people in this city, and public works is included in this, whose tastes need to be monitored.

In protest, I am going to put a giant ass fountain sculpture in my front yard of a dolphin or a peeing figure. With crystal eyes and inner neon lighting. And possibly some piped in muzak. Just make me take it down.

I'd say I that I would put vinyl siding on my house, but that would just make me feel dirty and cheap. Like Charlotte the crack whore.

Oh come on now complainer.. Even if what you say is true, have pity on some of the poor souls who run our city. And leave poor Charlotte along, cause for all we know she may be in kahoots with those who make some of the fantastic decisions that we are endowed with from time to time. Or maybe they are just on weed.

Do you remember earlier in the "Marshall Street Circle...." comments when the suggestion was made by a "Real Citizen" for all others to be "Real Citizens" and voice concerns at Council Meetings to those managing our city?

Maybe those concerned should enlist R.C. as a Politically Correct "Real Citizen" to address any of the circle problems at City Council or City Hall.

Telling other people what to do seems to be his line. I vote for R.C. Let's meet the "Real Citizen" there.
