JDP's intro, cos I'm too lazy right now--
"Aarthi and I were once going to make a zine about the South Campus Gateway which, at the time, had just opened. This is a version of that text unedited for non-clarity and replete with a sort of half-baked political rumormongering. But our naysaying has been thoroughly vindicated through the years. Today, the Gateway is a mess that is currently relying on "The Arts" to bail it out and keep it populated. The movie theater has changed hands annually, people have been killed their annually, and businesses seemingly close monthly. Their current roster of business can be summed up as tanning salons and bars for the people who love them. Some of the storefronts - smartly - never even opened. And, yes, the houses directly across from it on 9th still lay vacant. Without further ado:"
And now Jimi presents to you what we never finished:
(This was going to be in the zine too. No jokes.)
Dumb Note: I actually have an even more peculiarly edited version of this backed up somewhere, and still have the accompanying photographs, but who knows if that will ever see the light of day--and who cares. I suggest the link if you're interested.
