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 popu-
lation 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
foremost vacation destinations. the former small town is burgeoning with
new restaurants, shops, and developments 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.
