fort meyers, eh

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2010.11.22

On the Toronto subway system, you see ads for many things. Right now, someone is advertising 14% return on property in "Fort Meyers".

I had no idea where the place was, nor why someone would have to advertise for investors in a property development scheme .. in the public transit of all places. Frankly, it sounded fishy. Then today I came across an article in the Washington Post about Fort Meyers, Florida. Can't possibly be the same spot, can it?

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
