Saint PetersburgMap
October Saint Petersburg grows betterer by the day.  New traffic lights are going up.  New trash dumpsters.  A bus stop, a kiosk, a triangular advertising pillar, a lamppost, a traffic sign, and a pedestrian crossing which attempts to separate the streams of foot traffic—all in one shot.  Stencils on all the sidewalks.  St. Pete is our city. Zenit is our team. Putin is our president Many streets now have a bus lane.  A police call box. Lots of reflective plastic, metal, writing—and one little button.  Some bonsai trees here and there.  Different typefaces.  It’s not a good idea to park cars here.  It’s not a good idea to park cars here! And then there are the enduring values. Traffic light and traffic sign totem poles.  Affixing the totem poles to building walls.  A 1980s pedestrian crossing.  Crossing Homeless people selling flowers.  And everlasting municipal asininity: a heavyweight mesh construction around a rainwater drainpipe to prevent bill posting.  |
