Corner of Fivestar and Rockstar

Selling a city
Entirely uninspiring
Anywhere but here
Budget permitting
Foreign, but not too
Duty free
Passport rules changing
Value changing
Values questionable
Making something seem European
Or at least slightly exotic
With no change in language
Somehow still an exploration
For someone with narrow expectations
On the hunt
For a party, a pair of shoes, a kind of mustard
I've heard talk of their tofu dogs
However, I abstained
That made it progressive
To a friend of mine
Veggie links
Tofu dogs
Posters seem to scream something else
Similar to grasping at straws
Somehow gasping for inspiration
Or at least feeling that way
I've seen it
It's a great place
Not sure why to go anywhere anymore
Unless you're in college
In upstate New York
Or Michigan
Looking for beer and strip clubs
Before senior year
Maybe that's what it should say
Instead it's awfully flashy
And forced:
"Colorfull at every corner."
"You're just an hour away from a city where fine hotels meet over-indulgent nights on the town."
