  <title><![CDATA[Atlantic Drive Undergoes Utility Repairs and Hardscape Improvements]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Atlantic Promenade South will undergo construction to replace aged steam lines followed by upgrades to adjacent hardscape and landscape.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
