MN: Yes, flour mills are dusty. What's your point? The number of people working in them has nothing to do with you, me, or your beloved landmark with coffee shop. Those elevators were there long before you moved in. The fact that you don't like the environment or the business doesn't make them bad. If you don't like the place you chose to live, find another neighborhood to move to and complain about. GP: > the new condo development at the corner of 28th Avenue & 38th street, is > the only landmark in my neighborhood. Taking a totally blah neighborhood > and actually now we have a great coffeehouse "Tillies Bean", and a > beautiful building. MN: That "landmark" with yet another coffee shop cost one fellow I know the afternoon sun in his backyard. It is now blocked by this landmark. Now there's another place on the corner selling overpriced coffee. Big deal. Ted Cook's is directly across the street. If that's not a landmark, what is? Beautiful building? I don't see anything more than an ordinary apartment building. Totally blah neighborhood? Why on earth would someone move into a dreadful place like that? Oh, yeah, Tillie's Bean. How much free coffee will they give me if I start plugging it every other post? GP: I was tired of the corner of auto repair places that > honestly sucked and ripped people off. MN: How tired were you? Were you a repeat victim? Did they force you to come in and get ripped off? Did they actually rip anyone off? Why did they suck? I'll bet the issue was that they had dirt under their fingernails, and wanted to charge the going rate for mechanic service. Auto repair is just not clean or fragrant enough for some. GP: > The Standish neighborhood has nothing, except now we have something, > finally!! And I for one am thrilled. MN: Nothing? That's funny. I seem to recall there being something there before the dawning of the age of Tillie's Bean. Seems like others have seen something there too. Those people have lived there, raised families, run thriving businesses. They didn't seem to notice how deprived they were when all they had was a good, not too high-maintenance life and a little joint that only served coffee flavored coffee. Cripes, all this time they didn't know what a cappuccino machine was. Poor souls. Mike Nelson Central Where you order by saying "coffee", and they know what you're talking about. REMINDERS: 1.
