Some folks got so sick of replacing the boxes that they built chimney-like brick structures to enclose them. My brother-in-law out in Plasticville (AKA Strongsville) has had one for twenty years.

When we got to Daly City, all I could see up on a hill were little boxes in all different colors & I started singing that song. It was years later that I learned that Daly City was the inspiration for Malvina Reynolds's song.Clark St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09634234069783123180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-21076738713029383882018-09-01T09:08:50.954-05:002018-09-01T09:08:50.954-05:00"anserine decoration" :o)"anserine decoration" :o)Joyce Meggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960858859262567707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-50986061966725060172018-09-01T08:48:22.286-05:002018-09-01T08:48:22.286-05:00Anserine and anodyne, brilliantly paired, probably...Anserine and anodyne, brilliantly paired, probably for the first time in all of literary history.
