In my town, we recently pledged a quarter billion public dollars for the richest man in town's combination arena-casino. On the one hand, hockey does matter. (Less as I age.) On the other hand, fuck that guy.lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243426757463370949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-82334892745943556802014-10-03T19:06:43.514-04:002014-10-03T19:06:43.514-04:00Tom meet Landru, Landru meet Tom.
The line is an ...Tom meet Landru, Landru meet Tom.<br /><br />The line is an inside-joke on a forty year running gag, mostly, on the county we live in and its silly zoning and planning and self-anguishing over maintaining its self-image as a Liberal utopia while simultaneously making plan after plan that appears utopic but is just fucked enough to guarantee both the problem set out to fix isn't while all the appropriate local overlords get justly recompensed. Or at least that's how I read it.

Cars exist. Get the fuck over it.
Burtonsvil...Yes. Cars exist. Get the fuck over it.<br /><br />Burtonsville Crossing should be blowed up real good. It was dreadful before they reconstructed the 198 interchange, and the reconstruction made Burtonsville palpably worse. Sure, a mosaic district would be nice, but as even the maladept Dan Reed can see, Burtonsville and the northeast county don't have the density or infrastructure to support that kind of retail intensity--especially with the Maple Lawn megaplex just up the pike in HoCo. And for once, I think that building that kind of infrastructure would be bad. It's a weird day when I agree with Dan Reed twice.<br /><br />The development's actually named Washingtonian Woods, but yeah, one of its boundaries is Muddy Branch Road. And it's unfortunate that they bought into a development bounded by significant pieces of the Master Plan; I have exactly as much sympathy for them as I do for people who, in the 1980s and 1990s, bought property along the ICC. The CCT is supposed to go through Belward, which will be a much bigger nightmare for people in the Muddy Branch Road neighborhoods (and anyone living in the Greater Route 28 universe) than CCT will ever be. If it's ever even built.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.com
