| Homo Sapiens Congregate on Observation Deck Built Over Former Duck Habitat
From the Editor: After our recent article on the effect of the Barnard Street Duck Pond observation deck on the ducks who used to reside peacefully in the habitat, we received a comment from a resident living just a block away from the new construction. We reprint that report below:
"I live a block away from the resaca (or pond, if you believe the City).
Ask the people that live in the neighborhood, and they will tell you that the ducks have been displaced.
They have migrated to the lawns of the homes in the surrounding area. That, itself, is not a problem, except that several of the ducks have been mauled by dogs in the area and/or hit by cars as they cross the streets in the surrounding neighborhood. The duck population is shrinking.
Perhaps the City should have paid someone to determine what would be best for the ducks. Or perhaps, the City can just change the name of the project to the "Barnard Street (Road?) People Pond" instead of the Duck Pond. At least the name "People Pond" would better represent who the project is meant to benefit.
The only upside here is that the area will soon fall into disrepair and the City will not lift a finger to maintain it. Once the weeds and grass overtake the area, the ducks should return to their home."

I vote we replace Commish "Tits" Tetreau with a duck so our interests can be known and served by the city. I can assure you the residents of Brownsville will not notice the difference. No one watches the City Commission meetings. I mean no one! As a matter of fact, we could even have our new duck Commissioner-Elect wear a blonde wig and fake tatas. The idiots ...er... I mean fine, intelligent folks in District 2 won't notice because they're too busy stuffing their garbage in the storm drains and using their trash cans to collect rain runoff.
ReplyDeleteSergio Zarate always uses the term "tatas" in reference to female breasts.
DeleteSergio, be a men and get over it, you will never be an elected holder of any thing.
