[UC] Selfish redesign

I think one of the worst redesigned intersections is the new and penntrified Woodland/Baltimore/Chester and 38th streets. While this intersection may not have been perfect before, it worked. Now, so the Vet school can expand with yet another collapsible new building, a whole sector of the

Sam's Place used to smell like cat pee, I think they've dealt with that problem. I used to go there for coffee while walking the dog, and the service was always mediocre at best. I think you have to be a Hippie, or a Gutter Punk Anarchist to get good service. I imagine because the Green

Damn pseudo-hippies. Can't live with 'em - can live without 'em. A day in the life of a typical Sam's Place customer: Oh, hey, everyone look at me. I'm a hippie - you know, like those people a long time ago. I like to _conserve_ stuff and I like everything natural. Yeah, that's right. Look

I heard recently that Reagan was losing his mind even while he was in the White House, (which probably explains that vacant smile) He would write up long accounts of meetings that never happened after the scheduled guest had canceled. Frank Winkler probably doesn't even do that. WRZ Original
