Just like everywhere else.

They deserve a Laurel, and hardy handshake.

Where’s the ‘affordable’ housing going to be?

[FamiliarFace]

Funny.

[Salvey]

How about a mall and bus stops?

Thanks for posting this!

I sent an email to Jeffrey Blackard, who heads up a school of design called "Neoretroism" (I heard him on the local Bob Jones show here in Corpus some time ago)...I don't know exactly, but it seems like the ideas of neoretroism dovetail very nicely with these beautifying concepts. I love this stuff,

...and I despise despise despise brutalism, which is Bauhaus (ugly enough!) on steroids.

Commies want to make everything ugly.

After all, how do beauty, civic pride, and national heritage come into play when diversity, equity, and inclusion are on the table?

If I had known you were promoting a music video I would not have clicked on the link. I thought it would be a tour of Laurel.

My ancestors settled most of what became northern Jones and southern Jasper counties in the 1830s. That area includes the current city of Laurel. The region fell on hard times in the 70s from mismanagement, collapse of crude oil production, and the young folks leaving. The Napiers have brought life back to the town. I never dreamed it would attract tourists.

Steve was singing about Masonite. It was a stinky, dirty factory.

I pass thru Laurel quarterly.... some places have been renovated beautifully. But most of the area is blighted: abject poverty and demoncrap politics.

Played at a wedding there many moons ago.

I dunno, I kind of liked “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”.

Hometown of Marsha Blackburn.

Watched many episodes of Hometown, but they slid off into featuring too many gay and Lesbian couples.

I will no longer support their show. I refuse to watch it.

The husband is a sweathog, sweat soaking/drenching his T-shirts. The wife does amateurish water color drawings of every renovation, thinking she is an artist and that anyone would want her stupid childish drawings.
