    My city replaced the green city patch (sorry can’t post pictures due to privacy) that was near the town hall and replaced it with natural stone.

    Before:
    About a 450 m² area of a few trees, about 3 or 4 big chestnut trees and some smaller brushes.
    The ground was mostly grassy with a few earth patches in the bushes.
    In the middle was a seat and rest area in a stone circle and park benches and on either side was a cobblestone path.
    Something like a mini park.
    Around it was a small open stream of water and a little waterfall that was about 50cm tall

    Very beautiful.

    Now:
    The whole city center was redone with white/yellowish natural cobblestone (formerly it was mostly rusty red and grey)
    The park area was fully replaced with a stone desert and 6 or 7 “native trees” (as if chestnut wasnt native lmao) sourrounded by a pebble-like ground.
    Around it they have built a stone stair case to sit on. Likely for events and such.

    Besides the park it was done very well.
    But they mutilated the small patch of greenery around the center with a stone hellscape.
    I love my town but I will never respect that decision.
    I would really like to show pictures to demonstrate the change for the worse :(

    My Schoolboard trustee never heard of Auschwitz. She became internationally famous.

    Bonnie and Clyde robbed a church in my town. Except, not really, it was an early scene in that movie from the '60s.

    It was a grocery store back then.

      Not exactly, he was being fucked by a horse 🐎🐴🐎.

      That’s why we say in Enumclaw, it’s better to give than to receive.

    Yearly recurring protests and riots on may 1st.

    So much so that we now have riot-tourists that only come to experience “throwing a stone at a bank” or “getting arrested for lighting a garbage bin on fire”
