Well E-town has sunk to a new all time low. We recieved a postcard...I will do my best to describe it to you.the front has a black background with big bold lettering and reads as follows
IN ELMIRA, TWAIN REMAINS.FACT: MARK TWAIN IS BURIED IN WOODLAWN CEMETARY IN ELMIRA, NYCELEBRATE TWAIN IN 2010
That's all. Just that. Twain remains?? He has NO FUCKING CHOICE!! He is BURIED here!!!!! It's no secret folks, he can't go anywhere. What the hell do they feel this card is doing for tourism in Elmira? Any tourist would read it and say..what a dumb fucking city this must be. I won't go into the fact that anyone coming from anywhere just to see Mark Twain's grave is going to be terribly disappointed. Let me save you the trouble..its a concrete block with his name on it. Picture the Washington monument...only grey...an eighth of the size...and no top. Emblazened with three copper etchings of twain and his family that appear to have been drawn by third graders. There you have it. Go somewhere else for vacation.
