The City Upon A Hill Wall
Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoAfter the great afternoon at Homeless Day, pretty much everyone headed over to Sully Park. Turkey makes you very sleepy, and it was a warm day so everyone decided to stretch out on the grass and start a good base for their summer tans. Of course Feral and Malicious headed indoors in order to stay as white and pale as possible. I had just gotten my runner up envelope prize from Blondeopolis’ talent show. I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t win. I thought my medly of ‘Twist N Shout’ and ‘Shake Your Tailfeathers’ was pretty hot. And I was sure I had enough Persiphonians there to tip the scales on the Blonde-o-Meter. But I am working on a new routine for the next talent show that will knock their blonde socks off. But I have been hearing a lot about their great new luxury mall, and that it stays open very late on Sundays. I heard they had great designer shoe stores as well as some great hat shops and lots of bookstores. And everyone knows that in addition to being a shoe freak, I am a sucker for hat shops and book stores. So, with my free valet parking coupon, I headed over there to check it out. When I got into the parking lot, I happened to see this little old lady in a beat up old Cadillac searching for a parking space. She seemed very frustrated. The mall was quite crowded. She had a handicapped sticker, but all the handicapped spaces were filled. So, being the good, upstanding citizen and humanitarian that I am, I rolled down my window and offered her my free valet parking coupon. So what if I had to park a little way away? The walk would do me good after pigging out on turkey and all the trimmings and two pieces of chocolate cake. I figured she would accept it and thank me for the offer. Instead, she flashed me a toothless grin and said “Sucker!†holding up a whole stack of the free valet coupons. Then she added “I saw your act. You sucked!†Apparently she had been collecting them all day. Well, rather than beat an old lady senseless for a valet parking coupon, I decided to cut my losses and go find a parking space. I was pretty lucky and found one in a few minutes. As I was walking into the mall, I noticed that the old lady was now walking up and down the line of cars waiting to valet park, offering them coupons at a 50% discount! The nerve of her. But the valet parking at the Blondeopolis Luxury Mall is 20 bucks, which is pretty steep, and she was making a lot of sales. As she saw me walk by she cackled and gave me the finger. I told her that her roots were showing. Then I asked her if she knew how to keep an old bleached blonde in suspense. She said no. I said I would tell her later. I almost gave her the finger, but Persiphonian women pride themselves on being ladies. Most of the time. As soon as I got into the mall, I found a pair of security guards. I told them that there was an old broad outside selling counterfeit valet parking vouchers. I also told them that if they checked with their collection of wanted posters, they would see that she resembled Geriatric Annie Faulkes—wanted in at least 15 cities in Metropolis for pulling cons. While one of them went out to find her, the other one went to check the wanted posters. She tried to make a run for it, but even in her sensible shoes, they easily outran her. Sure enough, it was Geriatric Annie. The reward for her capture was 100 thousand dollars. I am donating half of the reward to Blondeopolis because without that free voucher, I never would have caught her. I hope they do something nice with their 50K. By the way, the mall was lovely. I bought two hats, an armful of books, but no shoes. I have been looking for a pair of ivory and navy spectator pumps forever and, alas, they still elude me. But old Annie didn’t elude me. She will be spending a lot of time in the slammer where she belongs. And the citizens of Metropolis can rest just a little easier tonight. And I am working on a new act for the next talent show. Of course, I stopped at the pizzeria on the way home and took my two pizzas home for dinner. Feral and Malicious were starving. They give Blondeopolis pizza 5 zombies—their highest rating. They especially liked the olives—which I told them was Blondeopolis’s special Goth pizza with eye of newt. Visit soon! Blondeopolis rocks!

Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoTomorrow is Homeless Day in Persiphonia. We have 6 homeless people in Persiphonia currently living in our beautiful homeless shelter. I know that our stats say 7, but the Census counted Mickey Roarke who was here visiting. He always looks homeless. At first, we thought they counted our Astronomy Club members who were lying on benches in the park staring at the stars, but on further checking, I discovered that 6 people had indeed arrived in Persiphonia homeless. The shelter was constructed immediately. Tomorrow is our day to bring the issue of homelessness to the public and to show off how we have handled our homeless problem. Each of the 6 people was given a permanent room at the shelter. It is their responsibility to care for it. Using freecycling, donations from families cleaning out attics and basements and replacing old furniture and with donations of quilts and curtains from the Persiphonia Stitch N Bitch, each has furnished their room beautifully. The next step was to obtain proper identification for them. And that is where our Social Services Department stepped in. After obtaining them the proper documents needed to work, jobs were found for all 6 based on their previous work history, which was quite easy in a city the size of Persiphonia. Two work as night shelf packers in a grocery store. One works with the pirates at the garbage recycling plant. One works as a nurses’ aid and one works as a teachers’ aid in an elementary school. The last one is my current secretary. Local residents and stores donated suitable clothing to all 6 so that they could present a good image when working. Local stores and restaurants provided left over food for them. In exchange, the 6 homeless people donated a certain number of hours of community service, which quickly made them known throughout the town and made them a part of the community. The nurses’ aid and the teachers’ aid help working mothers who need emergency childcare. One of the grocery store guys is an excellent handyman. As their jobs began to pay them, they began to pay rent to the homeless shelter on a sliding scale according to their salaries. They keep the place neat and orderly and take turns with the tasks such as cleaning and cooking. Gradually we took what was a problem and turned it into an asset. This is change—REAL change. And so tomorrow, our homeless people are the hosts of Homeless Awareness Day. It will be a street fair held at the homeless shelter. Everything has been donated and the homeless people will be reversing roles and cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for the people of Persiphonia. Everybody wins in Persiphonia. We may all share our bipolar disorder, but we share more than that. In Persiphonia, everybody IS somebody. Damn, I should run for President! (No offense Mr. President!) Today, we are sending you a social worker. They will teach you how to handle your homeless problem and start a program like we have in Persiphonia. And if you would like to drop by tomorrow, Frank Millstone, the guy who works with the pirates at the garbage plant, makes one heck of a chestnut stuffing. And Sue Blackstone, the teachers’ aid, makes chocolate cake that melts in your mouth. And there’s always room for more at the table, just pull up a chair and dig in. This may be a little hokey, but today we are sending you a copy of the classic “It’s a Wonderful Lifeâ€. We will all be watching it on a giant screen at the party tomorrow. It tells all of us that life just wouldn’t be the same without us—any of us. Not even 6 homeless people who showed up in Persiphonia with nothing more in mind than finding a good cardboard box to sleep in. And by the way—in Persiphonia we recycle our cardboard—we don’t make shelters out of it. Drop by—stay a while. Meet the great cast and crew of the great city of Persiphonia. They’ll all be there. Just watch out for the pirates—they are still not quite used to the idea of being polite around women. But they’re getting much better. They haven’t tried to abduct a wench in weeks. And they have no learned what soap and water are used for. Please remember to POP or Entertain us back often when you see us down.
