Don't Step On Z Grass, Sam

Every municipal administration at some point goes on a landscaping jag that always has the same sad ending of abandoned and dead plants. BUT my wife and I are always grateful for the effort. Most recently the city has decided to "redo" the Plaza del Artista, so the dirt that had been trucked in by some other administration and used to raise the ground level of the planted areas was removed along with most of the dead and dying plants, and some new plants and even some SOD appeared during the past couple of weeks along with a new coat of paint. I heard talk they even plan on installing a water faucet to connect a hose to so someone can water the gardens of the plaza during the dry months. Can't wait to watch them cut it, usually done here with weed whackers and machetes instead of lawn mowers. Now if only we could get a public garbage can or two...
