The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for August 25, 2020

Lennie, I’ll bet you know the Pretenders’ song “My City Was Gone”…and whose theme song it now is. (Good birthday choice!)

“they paved paradise and put in a parking lot”

Most merchandise with Ginger on it would sell briskly here. A moving truck, maybe not so much.

A forest mall? ☺

Similar to our neighborhood, except they are building houses and apartments here. We used to be surrounded by farms and wheat fields that are slowly disappearing. No new big businesses, so not sure where these people are going to work……travel to the Lennie’s city, I guess.

And it once was a nice forest.

Whattaya gonna do? Too many people. Too many idiots against contraception.

“They took all the trees

And put ’em in a tree museum

And they charged the people

A dollar and a half to seem ’em

.

No no no

Don’t it always seem to go,

That you don’t know what you’ve got

Til its gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot." – Joni Mitchell

found out today the 300 acre farm across the street from my folks is going to get turned into a 900 unit subdivision….. :(
