Okay, here I go again. Ranting.
here we are days away from 2008 and in older portions of just about every town across America there they are telephone poles.
Let's call them by their correct name Telegraph poles. The technology from the 1840s still here with us today cluttering up the sky above our streets.
Cities and towns spend so much money and time beautifying the street scape but stop at the overhead utilities.
Step back and take a really hard look down the street and focus on the canopy of wires that criss-cross the street big time U-G-L-Y.
I live on a tree lined street. In the summertime the trees hide some of the wires. In the wintertime when the trees loose their leaves, it's a whole different story. I enjoy the street in the winter because you can see more of the architecture of the homes on the street. In the winter you get larger vistas. Unfortunately, the wires are still there and do not go away.
The best way cities can beautify, is to underground the utilities and put in nice ligthposts.
nuff said for today.
