228 years ago today, colonists destroyed a statue of King George III located in Bowling Green. To commemorate this, the Times offers up a mixed bag in the form a round up-cum-history lesson about the parks downtown. We get some detail on the just finished work, some previews of what is to come, and we learn one crucial thing: to get interviewed by the Times, you better have some righteous real estate. We hear from an owner in the American Thread Building and a fella who has an upcountry estate. But curiously, no one is identified as a “renter in Independence Plaza.” So that part is pretty worthless, as is the piss poor slide show — skip it and go for a walk. It is far greener downtown than those photos would lead you to believe, and they mostly contradict the main argument of the article. The history lesson is servicable, especially for someone as ignorant as me regarding the city’s history.

It’s a good day to kick an unwanted English guest out of your apartment.
