Nanaimo's new tourist destination....

This is our new traffic circle...woo hoo, folks. We don't get new sewers, we don't get curbs or gutters or street trees or street lights, litter patrol or police patrol, for that matter...we get a circle. Don't get me wrong, folks fly through this neighbourhood so traffic calming is definitely a good thing...I did almost get t-boned in here the other day though(guess it will take some folks a little time to figure out just how it works). But the city just left it there with a big pile of dirt...if this was in on the north end of town, they would have $10,000 worth of flowers and a palm tree smack down in the middle of it.
And since the city is trying to find ways to suck the money out of tourists arriving in things like these.....

giant cruise ships lumbering into port, I thought I might be able to help the city with at least one or two tourist-trappish things...since the tourists will be arriving BY BOAT to downtown and the SOUTH END OF TOWN(CAN YOU HEAR ME CITY HALL?)and probably WON'T be walking to the north end, which really isn't within walking distance...can you see where I am going with this?!? Invest some frickin' money in the south end. Here's an idea for your traffic circle....
Isn't that nice?!? You could charge a dollar a ride in the daytime, and in the night, you could let the south end hooker brigade ride for free and all the johns could just come here instead of cruising my street all night, and when the New Nanaimo Centre is finished(ha ha, good joke!), you could bus all the vast amounts of conventioners sure to arrive to Nanaimo(ha ha, good joke) up here, too, cuz you all know what happens at conventions, don't you? They're all out for a really good time and what's a better time than a MerryGoRound? A MerryGoRound filled with hookers, that's what. Two, two, two tourist traps in one.

Whew...glad I got that out of my system...I can play nicer now.

Err. Would it be wrong to say that as a tourist I would pay damn good money to see hookers and pimps riding a carousel in the middle of the street? Especially if they were beating the hell out of each other with big sticks from their horseys. Or am I just sick?

Three, three, three tourist traps in one!

I might pay to see hookers and pimps on a merry go round. It would be kinda funny to see pimps and hookers on a merry go round.

you are a funny funny woman. you'd think that tourists would want a carousel of whores and johns after spending all that time pent up on a cruise ship with all those other senior citizens, why don't they put that right on the water front! i wish we had one on our waterfront, i'm sure the city would make tons more cash than they do selling stuffed lobsters and newfoundland dog t shirts at their dinky little kiosk!

Like stuffed with breading and butter, or stuffed like a stuffed animal?!? I would rather have a Newfoundland dog t-shirt, though I am sure Sebastion, my hermit crab, might enjoy a stuffed lobster...and, once again, depending on the stuffing, most people might prefer the lobster... not me, though.
