Center City Park...err Hole
I was startled to see today that the center of Center City Park was a giant hole filled with construction equipment. I have no idea why I am surprised, with all of my years on UNCG's campus I thought I had grown used to people randomly digging up a bush to plant a bush. It seems to go on daily on campus. I just wasn't expecting it downtown, in the middle of a grassy field, in the middle of a park.
So now that I have put the giant hole in perspective I have to wonder what they needed to dig down 20+ feet to find. Someone's wallet? Perhaps Jimmy Hoffa has been found, or at the very least some Greensboro politician (you pick) found their integrity finally. Of course rather than finding something something may be getting "lost" forever. Maybe someone's self-respect is being put to rest. If so I hope there is a stone or statue to honor it. There just isn't enough honoring of self-respect in today's politics.
Oh! It just hit me! The department of homeland security is probably looking for weapons of mass destruction. Everyone knows how clever Sadam was, the cheeky monkey probably hid the weapons in the basement of the building that used to stand where the park is now.
In other news I had my second interview yesterday. Huh, maybe my job is being burried in that hole.

They are actually digging up the park in order to build.... The New and Improved Park. Apparently, the current park was just a holding pattern until the could REALLY build a park. The hole i believe is for an interactive fountain. So where did you tax money go... to plant grass and bushes in order to replant NEW and IMPROVED... plants ...and... bushes...

Situation Normal, Just like UNCG. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Trust me, I know exactly how ya'll feel. I think 3/4 of my tuition money went to landscaping at Elon. We had to continously watch them, every semester, dig up the still beautiful plants to plant different beautiful plants...and what got me the most was that they would roll up the grass when it wasn't green enough and then roll down a new carpet! They even had toy sailboat people (people who went to the pond at Elon and sailed their remote control sailboats) on PAYROLL!!!! Just saw in the alumni magazine that Elon's campus is now considered a national botanical garden. Oh well, they suckered me in. :)
