When I moved into this neighborhood, I fell in love right away. Not with the actual neighborhood, but with its potential: It's affordable, there are nice row houses all around just waiting to be filled up by my friends, there's lot of open space to be exploited, and plenty of parking.
The problem is that the property owners here are clueless. They fill their yards with pavement and statues of the Virgin Mary, when all they have to do is clear that brush and we'd have a great beer garden or bocce court. They're spending all this money to renovate the old church, when it'd be put to better use split it up into condos. My landlord has no idea this apartment—hell, every apartment in this building—is undervalued.
It sure would help attract people like me if there was a record store, too, and not the one with the giant Shakira cutout in the window. I mean a decent one. I went in to see if they had the new Fiery Furnaces, and they had never heard of it. They said they'd see if they could order it for me, but I declined.
It's getting to the point where I feel like I'm tilting at windmills. But I can't give up—I know this neighborhood would benefit from the diversity of more people like me moving in. If you need a good place to live, come check out my 'hood. It's quirky, but it could use a few more creative types to get it jumping. But no developers—those guys just ruin it for the rest of us.
Great stuff, changed my life. Eli gotta little Doug Kenney-Stork phase thing going there 😎
Was this copy/pasted from bestofnextdoor? Seriously, you can tell me.
Hahaha! Who wrote this one? Give him/her a bonus. That is fact 1 of a 'slum' area. Action 24/7...
That looks like a Star Trek shirt worn by the guy who is going to die
“...incorporate some more of that funky Day of the Dead motif I really like.” 😂
Hey now! You can be an antisocial bastard worried about a global pandemic without wanting everybody to move out of their homes. If they’re moving out anyway can I get a price?
A white person using the word “quirky” to describe the “hood” they live in is the perfect summary of this article.
Kill the image with confusion & conjectures.
🤣🤣😂

He looks like a character from an early 2000s TV show
