Kim Jong Koch Plaza’s Snow Team Six hoses down pavement during drought
\
– News about Quincy Massachusetts from Quincy Quarry News
While roughly fifteen hundred young trees planted by the City of Quincy in recent years are suffering from this summer’s still-ongoing drought as well as a looking to be record-setting hot summer and thus these innocent young trees are dying by the hundreds, Kim Jong Koch Plaza’s now clearly well-past Felix Unger-grade obsessive/compulsive Snow Team Six is hosing down the pavement along the plaza.
Apparently, Snow Team Six is under the gobsmackingly mistaken impression that brick pavers need to be watered.

Either that or Team Sic is mistakenly endeavoring to grow more bricks for yet another another koched-up Quincy Center park.
For example, in support of the sotto voce plans to use taxpayer-funded funds to buy the building housing the nearby Acapulco Restaurant and then turn the property into a park.so as to enhance the setting around a planned to be built by Quincy Mutual Insurance mixed use tall building across the street
Regardless, what with the landscaping at Kim Jong Koch Plaza and the nearby newer Generals Park near the Generals Bridge, which next to no one uses, both enjoying irrigation, one would think that Snow Team Six’s penchant for hosing might be better temporarily redeployed so as to help water at risk city landscaping elsewhere around Quincy given this summer’s drought, however, such is not happening while hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of young trees are facing fatal ends given a lack of something as simple as water.

Several explanations:
1. This was necessary to wash away the excessive BS flowing out of City Hall.
2. Mayor Koch likes clean bricks.
3. Someone forgot to tell Snow Team Six there is a drought.
4. Easier than watering trees.
5. No grass to cut due to the drought.
All of the above! Particularly #1.
John,
No offense, but its Shitty Hall, not City Hall. At least it has been for the past fourteen-plus years.
I’ll go with #4 — it’s easier than watering trees.
Plenty of water for his goddamned bricks, but not for the sweltering people who paid for them.
Boston has more than FIFTY splash pads and public cooling features. Quincy waters the bricks.
