Eye-Pleasing Accent Plants

The right type of plants can add so much to a downtown's ambiance. For example, check out these Plattsburgh smart examples that emphasize the supernalness of its main street.

Street Trash Installation

The mess shown in the accompanying images has been lying around for a week on a Broad Street sidewalk. Why? Is it to add the supernality of downtown Plattsburgh, NY?












Maybe the answer can be found with this definition courtesy of Wikipedia:

"Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space."

Indeed, the busted bottle shards in tandem with the litterbuggery Styrofoam cup does transform my perception of that sidewalk space.

Evening Walk, Ethereal Encounter

A pleasant evening to stretch the legs. But you always have to watch your step downtown.

Remember: Cleanliness is next to Godliness. That's why I call it Supernal Downtown Plattsburgh.

Slip-Sliding Away In Plattsburgh

So if you're going to break your leg, which one do you prefer?

A Gift For City Hall

And what makes a better gift than something that creates disgust and disease?

Signs Of Conflict

With both signs one would think that the lawn to the Westelcom Stage Park between Margaret and Durkee streets would be clean. Keep your dog out. If your canine craps on the lawn you must pick up after it with one of the supplied waste bags. But it seems the messages cancel each other out. Why else would this be still be found there?



Putting up diametrically opposed instructions is what I called Plattsburgh stupid. Especially when both of them fail to stop the problem.

"Don't Tell Me I Stepped In..."

Downtown Plattsburgh, Margaret Street. A pleasant sunny afternoon. Two guys are walking towards me and I suddenly hear one complaining about something his shoe just made contact with. He stops and scrapes his now-sticky shoe hard against a crevice in the sidewalk.

So what did he step in? Obviously you never read this blog or have been a victim of Plattsburgh's canine landmines.

It's ironical that the mess was right near the MERKELS lettering in the pavement. Merkel's is long gone, a clothing store that prospered in downtown's better days (i.e., before the mall). It's motto was "The Store of Cheerful Service." Nothing cheerful about stepping in dogshit. Then again, there isn't much inducing cheer with Supernal Downtown Plattsburgh. If it's not dogshit, there are other threats to your feet like broken beer bottles or vomit splats (the result of too much cheap beer).

Plattsburgh's Diaper Service

Did your bundle of joy just complete a bundle of crap? Are you a lazy slob?

Toss it out the car window or just drop it and continue on your way with your stroller. Since dogshit is allowed, why not dirty diapers? Plattsburgh is more than happy to pick up shitter litter whether it be canine or human infant.
