Blue v. Red

I knew that in the last election, Eagan was a little more evenly split than anyone expected - I was just startled to see that the divisions carried over onto the Blackhawk playground. The red play area is full of bird crap inside, rather run down, imposes authoritarian rules/propaganda on children ("Playshaper!"), and is the venue of children cast off from the other play area because of their inability to socialize with pleasant children (it also has a convenient bowl in which to deposit your money for the children who live in the half million dollar-plus houses that surround the area). The blue play area, on the other hand, seems more concerned with the real needs of children, more prosperous and spreading into the outlying areas of the park, the home of a multiculturally diverse group, and anchored on two coasts/towers instead of just sitting there in a heartland configuration. You might worry that Eryn is hanging in the red play area, but it's not really her fault - she became momentarily confused by the private account retirement calculator.
