John,
There are more people breaking the law (murder and mayhem) than there is
dog hair in my house.

If they paid $15,000 for that sign, they got ripped off. As a realtor I can
tell you a sign like that can make it hard for nearby residents to sell their
homes. The bottom line is they failed to follow the law.

Subject: Re: [Chat] Convenience Store on 27th Street
I recently spoke with the owners of the Jailene's on 27th and the orginal sign cost
almost $15,000. Why would someone choose to put so much effort into complaining about a
neighborhood business when there are many other more important issues at hand? If
anything, the sign provided light to an otherwise dark block and it's not like the sign
is on all night long, they close between 8 and 8:30. It looks like they've painted over
the original sign with blue paint and now it looks completely drab. One of the best
things a community can do is to support a well run business. So completely lame. Move to
the county if you want everything to be "perfect".

Many of you know that the former convenience store on 27th between Guilford and Calvert Street that had been run by Ms Sue was sold over the summer and completely gutted and renovated, inside and out.
The fellows that opened the new store are great! Its clean, well stocked with myriad needs, deli meats, eggs, and everything you need in the middle of a recipe. They also take requests to stock your any need. It opened under the name Jalines.
They installed a huge canopy that kept you dry while coming and going, and while it might not have been for everyone, it had the name and tag lines of the store to advertise its presence. I'm guessing it cost more than $5,000. Imagine our surprise last week when we saw them painting over the sign, and removing any and all exterior signage. The owners told us somebody complained - not one house faces 27th Street - and they had to remove everything. They were visibly upset, and now are threatening to leave the neighborhood. Who would cause such a fuss?
