We could have had, as our gateway to the new (not yet built) Watertown Square, a building so aesthetically pleasing, so outstandingly tasteful, and so perfectly symbolic of the Watertown we now imagine that we might have named it:
CHARM ON
THE CHARLES
Well, you can forget that!
In a town
where 76% of registered voters don’t vote, and very few citizens show up at
meetings to voice their frustration, disappointment, and anger, bureaucrats too
often take the easy way out. And when that happens, we are less likely to get CHARM
ON THE CHARLES, and much more likely to get:
GODZILLA ON GALEN…
Seriously,
wouldn’t you rather have a full-size, towering statue of the real monster to
guard our city?
Just a
reminder: This is an election year. It’s your opportunity to vote for an ass-kicker,
not a licker.
Thank you,
Bruce Coltin, The Battle for Watertown
