“Nobody expected most of them to do academic work, it seemed, because long ago they’d been labeled as kids with ‘special needs’–even though in fact they were, judging by their vocabulary, their temperament, and their fluent way with irony, normal American high schoolers. They weren’t masterminds, but that wasn’t why they were in this room–they were here because they quietly refused to do work that they hated.”
–Nicholson Baker, from “Substitute” (2016).

Updates of ongoing permitting, construction and development projects in Palm Coast usually run here, along with a link to the city’s Week in Review. But the Week in Review, under the guise of being modernized, has become flashier and power-point like while becoming less substantive and dumbed down. We may or may not link to it in future.
