Dante’s Inferno Still Available At Library




Plattsy The Clown sez:

“I’m reporting live from the Plattsburgh Public Library. The AC is still busted. Windows and doors are wide open. Fans drone on. But it’s still like a steam bath in here. It’s now 6:15 PM so let’s check on conditions.”



“OK, it’s over 85 degrees Fahrenheit with the humidity hovering around 45 percent. I wonder the heat index is. Wait a minute – I don’t feel too well. No, I’m reaching critical mass…”



“I’m melting! Melting! Oh, what a world, what a cruel world...”



So much for the live report from Plattsy. Like they say at the nuclear power plant, meltdowns happen. Meanwhile the renovations at the parking lot on the corner of City Hall Place and Court Street look neat. Why spend money on upgrading the AC – heating system at the library when the city can lay out the dough for fancy brickwork and stonework?



Isn’t it worth sacrificing the comfort, even the health, of the public library employees? And why should the city worry about its infrastructure? Screw infrastructure. Let’s build something neat downtown!



Look at this expensive stretch of stonework. Great place to let the wild weeds grow wild. Neat!
