Get it Louder, Detroit/Beijing and Pineapple Season in University-ville


Qinghua University aka Tsinghua University, Architectural Dept.
After a sleepy, and slightly left leaning lecture by Kyong Park on the systematic destruction (along racial and economic lines) of Detroit as a warning for Beijing - wherein some actual, black Detroit natives in the audience protested the heavy handed liberal, look for shit, tactics of the architect cum artist cum documentarian - part of Get it Louder's forum on urban issues I went out for some side of the road pineapple purveying . The pineapples all the way from Hainan island arrive by the truckloads every year. They used to come combined with the truckloads of strawberries so that you can really get the full effects of a Vitamin C high but now they arrive independently ... love that pineapple.
