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?

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
