If you’re from Winston-Salem you’re probably thinking, "What?!" based on the headline of this post. Well, I’ve engaged in an age old media trick of getting you to read this based on a deceptive headline. The Buena Vista I’m referring to is Buena Vista Terrace in SE, Washington DC, a decidedly different Buena Vista than our bucolic enclave here in the Twin Cities. You might have figured out my trickery based on the fact that it involved double parking, something other than crime also not commonly found in W-S’s Buena Vista. If this was a radio or TV news broadcast you’d have been able to figure it out because in DC the location would have been pronounced "bwayna vista" rather than our local pronunciation of "byoona vista".

I love “our bucolic enclave” and plan on stealing this for my own use.
