My Two Cents

Awhile back, I saw a newspaper article about a new sewage pump plant that, when built, will be hidden under a building designed to look like a barn from the early 20th century. The city’s special projects manager, John Lovejoy, wanted to be a “good neighbor” to the homes already existing in the area.

At the same time, the city planning director, Dwight Kroll, wanted to create more open space for the public. Therefore, the sewage plant will also include a landscaped park, trails, tables and benches, a creek with a stone bridge, and plenty of parking.

Apparently, the technology that is being incorporated into the project can eliminate odors “in the high 90% range.” That seems pretty good, I guess, but not good enough for this: “[Kroll] envisions young couples perhaps using the garden and accompanying park for weddings and other family events.”

Cover the plumbing with a façade of the Eiffel Tower if you want, but I don’t know of any girl who would send out wedding invitations that read,
