Mayor Murphy's Lazarus store that the public basically paid for is closing. So is Lord & Taylor. He could have used the $$$ he spent on these white elephants to help the local businesses that are here. Oh whoops! I forgot - black people patronize those businesses and Smurfy doesn't want any of THOSE downtown, he wants it to be Pleasantville!! Silly me!!! They're trying to get a grocery store downtown which he'll probably fight to kill since it means people would come in from the Hill District to shop there.
He actually said that the reason the city & suburbs haven't merged is because the suburbs are full of racists and his friends won't come to visit him. That tells me that he is an a-hole with a-hole friends, not that there are racists in the burbs.

As you probably know we are in "distressed city" status. The city pools have been shut down and a bunch of cops and school crossing guards were fired. Also, the parking tax is going up downtown - I don't really care since I bus, but everyone is having fits - and the occupational tax may go up as well.
So that is why I am pelting him with slaw & fries.
Yes Sophie is still alive - they did a makeover on her in the paper. It was scary.
