Wow…every time I drive into town I am overwhelmed by the size of Mr. Trump’s manliness. There it is….rising up out of the land, reaching toward heaven and obliterating a good portion of the sunlight that used to warm the innards of Our Town. There it stands sucking the life out of our once quaint and charming town. You can almost see the cars steering away from the sides of the building to avoid the inevitable metal droppings carelessly left too close to the edge of floor # 37 by some cat-like worker picking his way across the narrow girders.http://www.topix.com/us/osha/2008/06/object-falls-at-the-site-of-trump-parc
We didn’t know we needed a taller building; one more monument to remind us of our greediness; our need for one more penthouse view of the distant NYC skyline. One person’s view becoming many peoples’ darkness. Another Trump Park, Trump Tower, Trump Plaza, Trump This…….Its ugliness rises up to greet us as we approach our town. One more shining example of Mr. T. giving the finger to those who were here before him.
He has an edifice complex, you know.

Oh, good grief! That is one HIDEOUS building! How sad that Stamford continues to sell out to big names like Trump. :(
Great post, sista! I look forward to your next . . .
I kind of like it.... But then again I'm a sucker for city life.
Actually building tall residential towers is a great idea, when it's employed correctly.
The idea being that if more people centralized themselves closer to where they work, or close to transportation hubs...
Less gas is spent driving out into the woods where we continue to carve DEEPER holes into our landscape and environment and cause much disturbance to animal habitats.
If humans spent more time living in urban centers, where they could walk, ride a bike or use mass transit to get to where they need to go. We might actually have a wooded natural environment to help the fact that we love to carelessly drive our SUVS into our suburban sprawls, where we mow down trees, plant lawns and do the world greater harm...
So though you might not like Trump and his need for tall buildings...
Urban epicenters aren't all bad.
And if Trump Parc brings new residents and workers into Stamford, those only become possible customers for your daughter's downtown Salon...
Things that make you go...
HMMMMMMM!?
I like to be constantly reminded of Trump's small manhood. It warms the 'cockles' of my heart. :)
