Pictures taken 16 January 2009
who wrote Taxman upon discovering that wealthy men they would be imposed upon by taxes, the nouveau riche of Southern California were absolutely aghast to find that their new found fortune invited visits from the revenuers. San Diego is home to fire ravished communities who resolutely refuse to pay for fire services and then had the nerve to complain that Red Cross as is their custom used some of the surplus from a campaign after one of the frequent fires to use for other purposes. San Diego voters would literally rather watch their family members be consumed by a wildfire than pay taxes. If San Diego had put on Royal Wedding H.R.H the Prince of Wales and the Lady Diana Spencer
, the first part might have been the same but they would have held the reception in a parking lot of Burger King. A true San Diego resident can come close to taste, but in the end will always cheese out at the last moment.Pictorial evidence of this truth is above. At the heart of the Gaslamp center is one of those fancy intersections invented in New York but famously common in Tokyo where pedestrians can cross in all directions. This has four "brick" effect cross walks and in the center the same effect in the as well as the words Gaslamp quarter. As you can see from photos, the effect, which was plenty cheesy to begin with, shortly became distorted and rubbed off. Like so much of San Diego tackiness it is also senseless. Real brick may be expensive to install but it is much cheaper over the long haul than asphalt. As cheesy as this is in itself. It is only one of several cheesy elements that can be observed at this intersection. The others will be the subject of future posts. So, remember, when you chose a wedding planner, make sure she has never lived in San Diego.
