Have your Mayor's wife trip and fall, where the sidewalk should be. Have her rupture a breast implant. Sue the City.

Ya know, if this didn't happen in San Diego, I wouldn't have material to add to this thread...

Cheers!

Good point. Just like the powers that be won't put stoplights until someone (or a few) are killed. Won't put in guard rails until a school bus full of children plunges into the Colorado River. If this didn't happen where I lived, I wouldn't have material either.
