Dead grass in Irvine? Unthinkable.

Grass Under Renovation and Fleeing the United States
The other day, Becky—my fiancee—and I were driving through the lovely, master-planned community of Irvine, California. Irvine is a weird place. Everything is just perfect in Irvine.

I saw the exact sign, searched the web for it since i wanted a picture, my friends would never belive me (am from England), only in Irvine would you find that, why does it have to be so perfect you have to have the need to tell people the grass is being worked on? At least even people who live in the area find it as odd as i do
