Upside down tuesday linkiage
- Kyle is cool. Here he is taking a Hurricane columnist to task for making fun of people.
- Miami is replacing plam trees with regular trees. Great. A couple of years ago Hollywood spent big bucks doing the opposite, ripping out shade-producing black olives and replacing them with palms. This is a good indication that our local governments have more money then they know what to do with. (Sort of via Miamist, except that they didn’t link to the Herald article where they got the story).
- Painter and all-around wild man Jordan Massengale has a new web site. Check out his “downloads” series.
- Frances nash is rapidly becoming our favorite local photographer. Now that she’s gotten her power back, she’s posting her post-Wilma picutres from around her house (dig her captions) and in downtown.
- A close call. Imagine if they took our hair spray!
- Fake money. Critical Miami was messing around with the office DC12 today, and we were able to make a convincing one-sided $10 bill. Yikes!
- Increasingly, city governments are distrustful of FPL, and hiring third parties to verify their information.
- On top of trying to charges us for power we didn’t get, FPL is now getting ready to raise rates by yet another 16%.
- Fred Snitzer. Does he have a conflict of interest?
- Holy crap, there’s an auto show. Bobby’s working on it.
- The Zen Mind, tonight.
Great idea—tear out the palm trees. Why stop there? Tear out ALL the trees, and erect lightweight aluminum structures which we could commission colonies of artists (like MSG Newness) to paint to LOOK like trees. Storm warning? Take them down, fold ‘em up, and truck ‘em off to the nearest garage. Tear out all the grass, and all the other landscaping as well. Pave Miami over and just fucking paint it. Paint Paint Paint!! Who needs living vegetation anyway? It just fucks up the condo construction sites, attracts mosquitoes, and irritates allergies. Plastic plants work fine: plastic, cement, and aluminum. And paint! That’s the way to make this a safe, livable environment. FPL would approve, and think of all the artists and painters we’d attract!
I wouldnt mind other parts of Miami looking like Coral Gables or the nice shaded section of Coral Way.
hey trees
get in the way of condos,they are evil and must be destroyed, i use to live across from the roads publix and they knocked down not just my building but the whole block.
