NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T: AD HOC BUS BENCH GONE

(Ed.'s Note: A day after this blog pointed out that the geniuses at B Metro were experimenting with using locally-obtained materials for bus shelter with benches made from cinder blocks and a wooden beam, the "bench" disappeared. The sign is also turned to face the road whereas before it wasn't. Now, with the unsightly bench gone, we're back to people standing on the side of the road without anything to seat on or shelter from the elements. When something embarrasses you, get rid of it, but don't fix the problems.)

Juan, post pictures of street potholes the size of moon craters! See if they have any shame and hopefully they'll fix them. Like the ones on Ringgold Road and Neal Drive.

City bus company is asking citizens to bring their own chairs to sit due to the fact that the director of BUS has to wait in the city's issued SUV and must suffer driving around Brownsville looking for a place to eat. This unknown person must suffer the long hard working hours to know where to look for a bus. Please don't leave your chair at the bus stop, it looks bad for the city.

Tents and chairs will be available at all bike trails to use at the bus stops. Courtesy of tad the minnow...

The city of Brownsville has no regards for safety.
Somebody got hurt the other day sitting on that bench and now they're filing a lawsuit how do you like that.

Chances are, the government isn't going to send you a check for your vehicle damage just because you make a claim. You will have to prove the government knew about the road's poor condition and didn't repair it within a reasonable amount of time.

I thought the genius with the cinder block bench idea was some homeboy taking care of his 48 year old granny's knees.

Forget about all that is wrong here. Now they want to built an arean. For what? To make money? For who? THEMSELVES, YES. But who wants to come here? NOBODY! So if it fails who's paying for the arena? Los pendejetes votantes das who...

A fairy tale, fairytale, wonder tale, magic tale, fairy story or Märchen is an instance of Brownsville Texas folklore genre that takes the form of a long long story.

Even before the glorious gringos came here to rob, steal and murder this magical tale of this village was already cemented.

The tale: The village Gate is the surviving gate once provided access to the north. The town wall and its gates (by the river) were built many centuries ago. The village Gate may have been so named as a toll was charged here for immigrants being brought in to passage.

Present: Now gringos want to destroy the village gate.
