The Passing Parade: Cheap Shots from a Drive By Mind

"...difficile est saturam non scribere. Nam quis iniquae tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus, ut teneat se..." "...it is hard not to write Satire. For who is so tolerant of the unjust City, so steeled, that he can restrain himself... Juvenal, The Satires (1.30-32) akakyakakyevich@gmail.com

FROM MAY 31: WELL, the city of Beacon is now 90 years old and today a major modern art museum is opening here. Dia:Beacon is opening in the old Nabisco plant down by the train tracks and you can read about it in the New York Times, Poughkeepsie Journal etc. I havent seen this many out of state plates in years and Main Street is crowded with people, including one guy dressed up in a chicken suit trying to haul the passersby into Planet Wings. I cant imagine where all these people are parked, since Beacon is not chock full of free parking. Our happy little burg is now a major attraction for art and antiques. You wouldnt think that a small American city could base its economy on selling Grandma's old furniture and art that no one understands, but you would be wrong.
