GREENSBORO, NC CRAIGSLIST "COMMUNITY" HOPELESS WASTELAND OF PORN, PRUDES, SCAMMERS & PHISHERS

HAHAHA    ONE OF GREENSBORING, NC's VAST ARMY of morbidly, obese, scooter-potato, badge encrusted  CRAIGSLIST "decency" watchPigs (J Khiele-a-nazi) flagged THIS photo for removal FROM A PORN PAGE simply because I had the audacity to PUBLICLY mention that it was a home "treatment" for POST OPERATIVE PAIN following HERNIA REPAIR SURGERY!!    The page was full of perverse nudity so I was sure a puny pecker wouldn't raise any eyebrows. 

BUT THIS IS... GREENSBORO,NC ...And having once suffered the severe misfortune of residing there for two wasted decades, I should have remembered what a hopeless cesspool of clueless morons boasting about their shiny shoe collections and perfect lawns work overtime fussing and tightening the sheet of shrink wrap that this piss hole stays sealed in.  

Dear Mr. Khiele may you, very neatly of course, print this out and then shove it up your JayCee cultivated asshole.  May ISIS make it's first US visit to the Gated-Snow-globe showering lake Jeanette, generously with Saudi dogshit, fermented piss and Syrian camel cum (ASSad - there's a Great GREENSBORO name of distinction!!)

HERITAGE HOUSE APARTMENTS monument to Greensboro's legacy of STUPIDITY!

So what ever happened to the rosy architectural drawings, and promotional piece in the News & Record describing how some brainy re-developer from paradise had spectacular plans to convert the big building on West Meadowview road into affordable condominiums for students, disabled and low income buyers.  Amenities were to include a "FOOD COURT" and landscaping bla bla bla.  Yeah right. 

 I took a drive by the place a few years after all this was announced and the only obvious external changes to be seen were poor quality, crude repaving patches, newer fences and so on.   At one time I had actually considered making a "statement" against suburbia by moving from lake Daniel to this complex because it reminded me of a place I had lived previously in New York City with similar architecture, it felt secure in violent weather AND because it had been my late Mother's first "stop" in her ten year institutional odyssey of various assisted living communities when it was then named Village Green and managed by the City of Greensboro.   

Anyway when I saw the news today of how nasty the place has become and what a total failure it was as a condo or rental apartment complex so much so that it's being VACATED yet again by the same stupid CITY of GREENSBORO that ok'd it's last several incarnations.  When I saw this It occured to me but apparently NEVER to the City of Bone Brains that this complex WAS A FAILURE FROM DAY UNO.   

1) It failed as a hotel because it was sited in an area which quickly became a low income wasteland book ended by industrial parks to the South and a dismal avenue to nowhere going North.  (poor planning)   2) It failed as an assisted living complex because it's idiotic, highly inefficient design made it too expensive to operate profitably with modest rents and was very poorly suited to elderly, disabled and infirm residents due to it's very long corridors with only one elevator bank (2) at the far end of the "L" shaped wings.  The fact that the City's "miracle worker" developer made NO changes to this most obvious design flaw should have tipped off the City council from the beginning!  

But of course the chronically brain-dead government body was CLUELESS (as usual) until now!  Failure to totally redesign this large building most likely sealed it's fate because the vast corridors, fire stair towers, poor sight lines, dead ends far from elevators etc. could only serve the needs of loiterers, criminals, dope dealers and rowdy youths just as similar ones did in the now discredited urban "PROJECTS" coast to coast.  And so it goes,  incarnation #3 "Heritage House" Condos is also a spectacular failure of - The building DESIGNED TO FAIL.  

More FREE ADVICE to the eternally CLUELESS City of Greensboro:   Don't try to rebrand and repopulate this monstrosity with out 1) adding TWO more elevator banks.  Shortening corridors, move the main entrance to the CENTER of the two wings not the far end as it is now.  Redesign all systems to make the building both SMART to operate and SECURE to live in.   

OR ...... 

 DON'T DO ANY RETROFITTING AT ALL.  Since this building is poorly sited in general and HIGHLY unlikely to attract any but the poorest, most desperate people it is VERY UNLIKELY to be profitable for ANY FUTURE USE as a free market residential complex of any sort (short of a low- security prison or jail?)   

So why not JUST DEMOLISH IT and try to re-purpose/salvage the major structural concrete pre-fab elements? Thus adding ONE MORE GORGEOUS VACANT LOT to Greensboro's VAST INVENTORY of GORGEOUS VACANT LOTS for which it takes so much pride !!

BUSH PLANNED U.S. BANKRUPCY IN 2002 - What's new?

Isn't it more of the obvious? The Bush family's NEW "DEAL" and how every major event that's befallen the U.S.A. since January 2002 looks like it was "scripted" from the get go by power-players of the Billionaire class, lounging in some marble temple like emperors of ancient Rome toying with their nation's amusing little affairs.

2002 The phony "election" (Installation of King George - the imbecile emperor) (Experience?, Qualifications?? What the heck he's white, suburban looking, screw the rest we'll just leave that to VP & the cabinet)

The Supreme court rubber-stamp election results validation.

The terror attacks of 2001 (now the duh can "look busy")

The "We're AT WAR" blank check alibis for everything, suspicious, sleezy & demagogic that was unconstitutional & illegal.

The Iraq invasion (Corporate welfare blank check, McTerror factory, more "busy-work" for Bush)

2004 The AUTOMATIC-RE"ELECTION" Can't change "Commanders" when the Nation's "AT WAR" -more Bushit, excuses (This was the OTHER reason for the Iraq war)
Stacking the Supreme court with more fascist automatons.
The gutting of the legitimate federal government & replacement of all agency heads with crooks, morons, fascists, & other incompetent duh puppets. (The cause of the Katrina disaster, the space shuttle disaster, the Iraq disaster, and now the Wall street disaster)

THE "BURMESE" U.S. ECONOMIC PLAN: Bush-Cheney's "new deal" = "Those who have more . . . Get more"! The regime lavishes money on the Rich and connected while starving the poor and the middle class and protecting itself & the upperclass with a powerfull military, police state, "emergency" detention powers & a vast prison system.

GOP CONVENTION-BEIJING-STYLE: Entire event stage managed by Bush Gestapo & Secret Police, Journalists arrested, beaten, jailed, private homes raided w/o warrants, TV/Video cameras banned outside venue, (TV NEWS-CNN, FOX, MSNBC cowtow without a whimper!)

McPAIN-STALIN 2008 Republican presidential ticket. (McCain, 13 cars, no interest in economic policy, no imagination, no ideas - typical vacous conservative can't create his own campaign ads so he lets Obama be his speechwriter & ad inventer! BUT STILL . . . . He's a WAR VET and since America's "AT WAR" = nats he's OUR MAN, Right?

Well if that won't win ya over he's got one more trick up his sleeve. He'll wait till the absolute LAST MINUTE before the GOP convention and pick a female running mate who's totally secret/unknown, who conceals her far-right ideologies AND is VERY SEXY and great at distracting press & public from important issues, until it's nearly election time, with her sexy looks and silly speeches.

THE ENGINEERED WALL STREET COLLAPSE: Is this the final "act" of the eight year Bush family war against U.S. Democracy and the middle class? Maybe or maybe not but obviously, it's NO ACCIDENT, It's all part of the Greatest Conspiracy On Earth and it was carefully planned to benefit the Billionairs at the ongoing expense of the "little" people in America and the world.

I SURVIVED THE EIGHT-YEAR BUSH DISASTER But ALL I GOT was this lousy T-Shirt.

Attn HOMELESS!! NEED FREE FOOD IN GREENSBORO? - Go to StunBooger Elementary!

The following is an excerpt of a letter to a friend:

-The least pleasurable aspect was starting my day in the cafeteria & waiting patiently for the little brats to divide the (free) food on their trays 50/50 between the floor and the garbage cans.
The resulting trash bags that I had to haul out to the dumpster were heavyier than ANY I'd ever handled anywhere. Probably close to 50lbs each! With each messy bagfull, I thought about our property taxes and how much of it goes to the school system. Then I thought about the cost of groceries and the many people in this country who are malnurished or just plain hungry on a daily basis and how the dumbshit government whines on and on about how it can't AFFORD to meet their nutritional needs!

At Stunbooger ES every day it's about the same routine. The kids go through the food line, loading up thier trays with everything in sight because the SCHOOL RULES FORBID THEM FROM RETURNING TO THE LINE to get anything else! They sit down at their tables & run their mouths so much and so loud that they DON'T HAVE TIME to put food in them.

Then they get up to leave the room and dump the food trays into the trash cans with large portions of uneaten food and drinks still on them.
Much of this food is pre-packaged in plastic containers, especially fruit cups, that're OFTEN NEVER EVEN OPENED before they go into the dumpsters! Whole fruits like apples and pears are routinely tossed into the trash like they're nothing at all.

Then the "funniest" part is to see the schools earnestly mounting these pious canned food drives for charity without any reflection on the irony of their daily actions.
Now I feel like telling any homeless / starving people in Gso. that it's ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT every weekday at the gcs dumpsters on Christ church road off Holden!

(or go to the back door of the school cafeteria and wait for the food to be wheeled out to you!!!)

So the moral of this story is: Disregard & Ignore your Government, they're mostly morons & idiots anyway, who've got no idea what they're doing! Now go raid those dumpsters!!

Historic Mill deleted! GREENS-BORING, N.C.-Save your camera.

Well another historical city landmark has been thoroughly deleted from the city's grossly, unmemorable landscape. Another blank space, empty lot, the sort of thing that this city seems to NEVER tire of. After all, an empty lot is 1) Orderly, 2) Non-controversial and even possibly Profitable!!!

The Pomona cotton mill which was still serving as a museum/shopping mall when I first moved to Gso. had been mostly unused for about 10 years and in Greensboro, NC that's a VERY long time for anything to exist without a definite purpose!!! In addition, the Mill was serving as a host to Gso's only real artists. Graffiti writers and in Greensboring, any sort of unregulated imaginative, activity in public, particularly of the Artistic type is strictly prohibited!!! So now in addition to yet ANOTHER SPLENDID VACANT LOT, we have yet another testament to the typical UNIMAGINATIVE, vacuous, tiny minds of local real estate "developers". Most of whom can't begin to imagine ANYTHING new without first beginning from the perspective of a totally 'vacant lot' !!

The very idea of recycling an interesting vacant structure and merging it with a new structure so as to preserve at least part of a local landmark is just too, too strenuous for the small, simple minds of these local guys who can only see quick $$ and easy repetition of the conventional as reasonable uses for any piece of land they get their paws on.

Of course it's probably unfair to blame our developers for being "IMAGINATION CHALLENGED" when we are blessed with so many "gifted" city leaders who consider thinking anywhere NEAR "outside the box" as being down right un-american. Just take former Mayor Holiday for example, who's idea of a perfect cellular tower would be one that "looks like a flag pole" rather than one using latticework or any sort of creativity at all.

To Holiday, a Greensboro lifer, boring is beautiful that's why he also endorsed the brilliant aesthetic idea of encouraging EVERY builder in the city to design EVERY BUILDING so it looks JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER ONE! So now Greensboro's OFFICIAL architecture is Southern-Post-Modernism like the "new" bank tower downtown on Spring street. The theme for this type of city design is just like Greensboring itself; NO SURPRISES! It means We're Boring and We like it that way!

So if you suffer from ADHD and you have a strong need for visual variety and novelty, well you'd better just pack-up yer bags, git back in yer car and MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE (like Winston-Salem or High Point). Cuz in The Gated City we demand and expect ORDER, CONFORMITY, BLANDNESS and SIMPLE MINDEDNESS in EVERYTHING - No Exceptions.

So kids, don't bother bringing your camera or even pulling it out of the bag. Save it for the next town. We're dull & we like it that way.

G'boring - 200 Years of "No Practicing allowed"

Well it's summer again in the Gated city (Greensboro, NC) and in Greensboro that means it's 2.5 months of sweltering heat, loneliness and for active people, general boredom.

One of the main things that makes G'boro into G'BORING is it's wealth of LIFELESS-CITY PARKS. The City's parks are actually LIFELESS-BY-DESIGN. For proof of this, look no further than all those authoritarian, no nonsense signs in every park proclaiming "NO PRACTICING ALLOWED" "CITY FIELDS FOR PROGRAMMED ACTIVITY ONLY" Really these signs should say " "City Fields for PROGRAMMED INMATES ONLY" for truth in advertising. The practical effect of all this typical G'boro, heavy handed governance is to deny the public any natural, casual activities in these park settings, just in case something might get "out of hand" and a dirty word or a punch in the nose might occur now and then.

This policy of Recreational Martial Law has the practical result of virtually guaranteeing that most people won't want to bother to use a city park if the expectation is one of being alone and or bored to death. It's also one of the typical reasons why G'boro is failing in it's campaign of trying to attract more 20 somethings to move to the city and help make it less BORING and economically stagnant.

The Heavy Hand of Government and the Culture of Absolute Control is still alive and well in The Gated City ...
and that means EVERYTHING ELSE IS DEAD.

HIGH POINT MARKET shouldn't have to KISS A BIG FAT ASS.

I think it's really too bad that The High Point Market Authority is having to go to Greedsboring's gate with a begging bowl in it's hands.

Don't they know that Gso. is in reality just "an overgrown small town" who's government and most of it's citizens know little and care little about anything or anybody outside the limits of it's snow-globe "city" limits? Why should "North Carolina's International City" have to struggle to communicate much less bargain with North Carolina's Clueless-Provincial City" ?? The fact that Gso. is a virtual non-entity is proven by the words of it's Mayor-For-Life Keith Holliday who can't understand why The Market Authority chose a simple, clear, to the point name for the semi-annual event rather than an all-inclusive-politically-feel good, acronym heavy, name like Gso. usually does for everything it has control over.

THE REASON THE NAME WAS CHOSEN, MR. DUH-MAYOR, IS THAT WE (HP) HAVE TO COMPETE WITH OTHER FURNISHING MARKETS IN THE OUTSIDE-WORLD. (But, of course, Mr. Gso. ,you could be forgiven if the "outside world" and the "free market" were strange, unfamiliar concepts to you!!!) Then there's Gso. councilman Tom Phillips who's literally asking High Point to get down on it's knees and KISS HIS ASS just for him to consider contributing a few dollars toward the Market. Also Greensboro was unhappy about the Market Authority's decision to change the event's dates WITHOUT CONSULTING GREENSBORO!

Well, gee WHY didn't Greensboro consult with High Point when it "set " the dates for the ACC and NCAA games. The reason, of course is most likely the same as High Point's: BECAUSE WE DON'T CONTROL THE SPORTING WORLD FROM GREENSBORO and so neither does High Point CONTROL THE WORLD HOME FURNISHINGS INDUSTRY FROM HIGH POINT. The market's dates were likely moved up in response to needs within the home furnishings industry itself! (But again, Gso. our state's overgrown-small-town, could be excused for it's total ignorance of free-market forces and events beyond it's small town borders)

I've got a suggestion for Mr. Casey of The Market Authority and Bill Bencini, High Point city councilman for a way to extract funds from Greensboro's whining, finger-pointing, crybabies. SELL Gso. what it has always wanted: "NAMING" RIGHTS!

Perhaps Bill Bencini can fill in Mr. Casey on a particular symbolic flash point in history between the two cities when Gso. officials on a visit to some other U.S. city during the mid 1990's tried to officially claim that Gso. , which chronically lacks for ANY distinctive, ORIGINAL hometown feature (other than being the site of various civil rights battles-1960's to the present) was in fact the "Home of the Furniture Market" while making NO reference to High Point !!! (I think HP lost a huge P.R. opportunity then by not pointing out how utterly absurd such a claim was since Gso. is/was one of The Least Creatively talented or Innovative places on earth. Both qualities being essential for a DESIGN community!!!)

With this issue in hand, Mr. Casey & Bencini could remind Self-Righteous-Gso. of an "inconvenient truth" and work out some sort of a deal where, for an "ANNUAL FEE" Greensboro could finally "brand" itself (un-originally, of course) and SHARE some portion of the official credit for being "home" of The Furniture Market when it goes around the globe struggling to make itself visible ON THE NATIONAL MAP.

Ahh, that's it! Greensboro could officially, call itself "The Home of The HIGH POINT MARKET" !! .....and then finally, PAY IT'S DUES.
