My wife comes from a city called Apizaco. When she was a teenager a guy ran for office under the slogan “Apizaco verde”! Saying green Apizaco, this guy dreamt up big plans to bring fresh trees and grass to the urban areas of Apizaco.
My man was elected governor, amassed great funding for his Apizaco verde initiative, and then basically set up cement centerlines in the middle of the main roads and painted them lime green. Somehow amassed a great amount of money on the side to build the only top of class mall in Apizaco.
Nothing to do with this story, but still thought it was fun to share.
Edit: For anyone curious, I found this pic online of what the centerlines look like https://imgur.com/a/GUBuNAN
