The Tug is...

America the Strip Mall.

Hate to see stuff like that go.
That stuff like this happens.

Talked with a customer of mine today,he was saying how everywhere, is starting to look the same. Pick any exit of any highway, same strip malls over and over. Old houses being knocked down and charachterless boxes being built.
Even the McMansions being built, are cookie cutter fugly.

No wonder, he just passed papers today on his house in town, and is moving to the middle of Maine this weekend, bought an old antique farmhouse, and barn that has been renovated, 15 acres, for a third of what he sold his place here for.. says ya can't even make 10 bucks an hour there, but, no bills, or mortgage, a much lower cost of living, and money in the bank, he don't look worried....
third guy this week from my town I talked to that is doing something similar to this, aome going north, some going south... Cape, and most of Mass., from what I have read, is losing it's lifelong, working class... friggin sad.
