Shouldn't it be Dumplin
Shouldn't it be Dumplin Pointe?
what's in a name?
After the momentous scrape-and-fill, it should be called
Dump In Creek
"still some hole left, still some hill left"
How fitting
There was a beautiful campground and stream that was literally buried under all that construction debris and fill dirt. One of the most egregious crimes against the earth visible around here. Since doing that, we could only joke that a Sprawl*Mart belonged there. And people wonder why I refuse to set foot in those stores. Not that they'll feel my pain in their wallets, but I'm damn sure not going to reward the Ass*Holes.
There should be a special place in hell reserved for developers who do that kind of shit and for governments that let it happen.
