Sooo...


the sensacist has been fascinated by the names of housing projects for a long time. most of the time they are pretty standard and named after famous black leaders so people can feel really proud that martin luther king died so they could live in a brick shit box. ANYWAY, i discovered from this amazing article about a crack fiend that there is a place called the p.t. barnum apartments in bridgeport, connecticut. oh and yes i would definitely smoke crack if i lived in a place named after someone who started their circus career "with his purchase and exhibition of a blind and almost completely paralyzed african-american slave woman, joice heth, claimed by barnum to have been the nurse of george washington, and to be over a hundred and sixty years old." (wikipedia)

god, america is so fucking grand. anyone want to go to bridgeport this weekend??
