Nurse Nancy gives a flu shot

It seems no one likes the idea of a 660,000 sq. ft. nursing home over towards the Byram border. I’ll admit that the size of the place seems a little, er, “excessive”, but presumably the developer drafted this plan as a sacrificial anode and will come back with something more palatable.

But really, will the neighbors allow anything built on the site? Doubtful. I suggest (no charge) that the despoilers come back with an equally large building but as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. Thanks to the Americans With Disabilities Act, they can override local zoning rules and build what they like. Then, after a suitable period of uproar at the P&Z and Town Hall, resurrect the original plan: I’ll bet the neighbors would meet Granny and her wheelchair with wet kisses.

And it would sure be fun to watch.

The reason there aren’t grocery stores in urban areas is either there is no demand for them – entirely possible, or because cities don’t allow them, or both. The Korean green grocer sells arugula but at high prices. Wal-Mart can offer the same fare, at far less cost, because of volume and the subsidizing profits supplied by ammunition sales, but Wal-Mart stores are banned in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other large cities.

So Obama and her husband have a choice: leave the kids to their Twinkie diet or stand up to the unions and press for change. No hope of the latter, I don’t think.

The basketball players have cancelled their season (did you know they haven’t been playing?) I put this right up there with the Hindenburg disaster and the cancellation of the hockey season a decade (?) ago.
