What is it in a developer that makes him (or her) look at a natural, wooded lot and think, "You know what would be really awesome? It would be really awesome if we cut this all down and installed some wooden boxes on concrete blocks here. Then we'll give the streets wonderful, natural names like Oak Lane, Maple Drive, Squirrel Run in honor of all of things that used to live here, but weren't as awesome as asphalt and roofing shingles. And this one will succeed, unlike the dozen or more empty sites that those other developers tried to make work in this area."
Such is this place, just a little west of Kalamazoo. Some day people like one of Kim's friends will live here and complain about having toads and raccoons in her back yard.
The current City Hall building is a near-50-year-old structure that has served the city well but, in its current state, is functionally obsolete. Built in 1969, the current City Hall requires major renovations that are complicated by the presence of friable asbestos and the way the electrical and mechanical systems were installed.
On October 3, 2017, Virginia Beach city council unanimously approved a resolution to proceed with the design of a new city hall building. The new three-story structure adjacent to the current city hall, between Buildings 1 and 2, is under construction and progressing well.

First Saturday morning reading the paper in the living room. Not too many boxes left.
Snowing this morning a bit. Just flurries. Gave me an excuse to linger though.
Louisville, Colorado. So long beautiful grassland. It's time to replace you with over-sized houses, asphalt, and watered lawns. Ryland is building these homes.
It makes me think of what Agent Smith said in the Movie The Matrix:
I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we … are the cure.
