a year ago, this was a surface parking lot, the last one in the park --- also re-purposed was the city's old stable and maintenance complex, now a "special events facility" that has been re-christened magnolia hall --- it's getting harder and harder to remember the run-down, semi-wild piedmont park of the 1970s and 80s ---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
