LIKE A SECOND SKIN

[jenn]

dover, florida was always happy to keep to itself. with one road to the rest of the world, one run-down
motel, two fast food joints, and a population of three thousand, it was just the kind of smug little small town
that politicians love to write speeches about. and then one hotel manager discovered the spectacular view,
and then another, and before the inhabitants fully realized the change, dover had become one of florida's fo-
remost vacation destinations. the former small town is burgeoning with new restaurants, shops, and devel-
opments catered to the higher-class clientele that now mills about the city's picturesque streets, but beneath
the gleaming façade, dover is still the same old city with the same old trailer parks and the same old white
trash. tensions are rising as the class warfare rages on, and it doesn't even seem possible that someday
dover will wear these changes like a second skin.
