James Monroe High School has a new scoreboard after half a century. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to get it in the building.
The 14-foot sign doesn't fit into Monroe's ancient doorways. They don't make schools like they used to.
And in Mr. Bloomberg's New York, they don't make new ones, unless they can find contaminated tracts of land unsuitable for anything else. Perhaps Mr. Bloomberg thought he could squeeze the sign in just as he squeezes 4500 kids into a building designed for 1800.
It turns out, though, that metal is less pliable than children. Public school kids will fit just about anywhere. You just need to put screens on the classroom windows so the excess doesn't spill out onto the streets, where business may be being conducted.
Anna Nicole Update: Still dead.
Britney Update: Still bald, but increasingly insipid.
