The Editor,
Re: "King George is going green," the Now's April Fool's Day story.
Your story that reported half of King George Boulevard's lanes will be converted to bike lanes totally caught my attention.
"Oh my God," I thought. "What on Earth?"
I quickly scanned the article, trying to get the gist of it, just shaking my head. What a ridiculous move on an already over-travelled King George Boulevard. What are they thinking?
But as I re-read the story, a light bulb came on and I realized it just had to be an April Fool's joke and I laughed out loud (totally got me going for a few seconds).
And each time I read it, I laughed out loud some more (Bob Loblaw indeed).
This is one of the better April Fool's tricks I've seen. It reminded me of one in your newspaper a few years ago where you reported about massive amounts of money that was being spent to move the large white rock in White Rock to a safer location uptown. That one took me a few days to realize it was a joke.
Thanks for the joke. Good job, Now!
