Loved that Jalopnik article.
OK. So I re-read the WSJ editorial that's got Jalopnik
so bent out of shape. Didn't agree with everything the
second time around but plenty of valid points - to be
expected from a conservative publication.
But.
Does the author really expect everyone to take him at his
word? His googling for instance is not at the level of
what I would expect from a reputable journalist.
New Left Urbanism
The Rise and Fall of New Left Urbanism
So I learned a couple of things. The two articles are
diametrically opposed - alt-right vs. alt left. The
truth is still out there.
With regard to New Left Urbanism or Urbanists if you will;
what goes around, comes around.
Europeans are happier than Americans because:
They're not obsessed with their racist, murderist, amoral
past. It is what it was and it's not who they are as a
people today.
They're not overly concerned with being responsible for
ensuring the safety and well-being of the world. Someone
else can handle that - they've got enough to deal with.
Miss C --- that California location is not the only place where they make the giant fiberglass statues and advertising devices. There's a company located in Sparta, Wisconsin (about 30 miles from where I live) called "FAST Corporation" — which is an acronym for "Fiberglass Animals, Shapes, and Trademarks" — that still makes these things for advertising, waterparks, and what-have-you. In fact, that huge muskellunge located at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward WI (pictured in the comments accompanying the original article) is one of their creations. And they keep a lot of their old molds stored outside in a vacant field next to their factory, visible to drivers traveling Wisconsin Highway 21 between Sparta and Tomah.

Found the FAST Corp on google maps street view.
