Ceci n'est pas un parc à bestiaux

In fact, there are no stockyards anywhere nearby, and haven't been since 1995. Stock Yards Village opened in 2014.

That is a slaughterhouse in back, though. I suppose Slaughter House Village didn't have a ring to it.

Sounds like a good title for a creepy murder mystery.
Interesting combination of curves and straight lines, and a lot of yellows moving us to lower right.

Le centre d’achats remplace un beaucoup plus grand abattoir, Jose, mais on continue à manger la viande, et l’abattage continue quelque part.

L’industrie fait de son mieux pour en masquer les détails. Mais un récent scandale ici a révélé la maltraitance des poules aux fermes de volailles.

John FitzGerald replied to Keith Burton:

I've only got as far as not eating veal, Keith. Oh -- and things that are boiled alive etc. My sense of cruelty is muted, I guess. I am against cruelty to people, though, which in my experience seems to be a minority opinion.

The flowers on the roundabout are part of our annual summer custom of having flowers everywhere. We spend too much time looking at snow.
