City Views

I remember the vocal debate power companies had about the dangers of PCBs in their equipment. It seems odd now to imagine that anyone could oppose getting rid of that nasty kind of chemical.Even as our leaders today maneuver to defang the Environmental Protection Agency. What a banana republic they want to make of us! I don't think a return to the pollution of the Great Lakes, the rivers catching fire and so on and so forth would be to the people's benefit. These days fracking is the big pollution concern and the more I read about that the less I like it. Key West homes look tiny from up in the air.Looking across the roof of the Grinnell Street Parking Garage I could see the Steam Plant condos in the former electrical power station. Penthouse views for 1.6 million dollars I believe.And there is that flight path, right over the middle of the city with a plane load of visitors coming to town.You can see why they'd be coming too.Palm trees, turquoise waters, breezes and eternal sunshine.
