Καυτές λαμαρίνες στην παραλία (και άλλα άκρως αντιερωτικά στιγμιότυπα της Θεσσαλονίκης).
Πότε θα μας ελευθερώσετε την παραλία κύριε Δήμαρχε; Η έλλειψη φαντασίας και δημιουργικότητας είναι κάτι που χαρακτηρίζει αυτή την πόλη τελευταία. Τουλάχιστον στην επίσημη έκφρασή της. Αλλά αυτή τη φορά έχω την αίσθηση ότι έχουμε ξεπεράσει κάποια όρια. Πόσο ακόμη καιρό θα μας στερούν τον ορίζοντα της θάλασσας; Και μάλιστα χωρίς ανταπόδοση;
