Laserbeam, you're a brilliant analyst, but you remind me of one of those CIA dudes who is so brilliant and so paranoid that it drives them right over the top -- I think James Jesus Angleton was sort of the paradigm, if paradigm is the word I want.
Now that you've definitively proved (for the 17th time) the plot by UCD, Penn, Darth Vader and all the other forces of the Dark Side to displace indigenous owners in order to further gentrify the Baltimore corridor, here's a little problem that I've been wondering about that maybe you could apply your expertise to: Whatever happened to Eric Goldstein, Lewis Wendell's predecessor at UCD? Does he sleep with the fishes at the bottom of the Bowl? And when you've solved that one, I'd like to know the whole story of how Melani displaced James Roebuck at 4800 Baltimore, how much she paid for the property, whether the "improvements" she intends to make will be in accordance with hysterical designation, whether it's true she's planning to install a brothel, lingerie boutique and fern bar, and whether she plans to serve booze. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org/gentrification.html On 4/18/07, UNIVERSITY*CITOYEN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

This spelled death > for the remaining merchants' businesses. that's not what ucd and the inky and cpn's website were saying, melani. in 2004 ucd and the inky and cpn's website were saying how linford's firehouse was such a success, such a part of ucd's efforts on baltimore avenue. that was the same year ucd's gail fisher was hired as baltimore ave's corridor manager. and then a year later, july 2005, linford martin asked the firehouse vendors to vacate by november 2005. rosemarie certo, dock street owner, sold her pizza rustica in october 2005 to go back into the microbrew beer business. in april 2006 dock street signed on with the firehouse. the installation of dock street at the firehouse meant that local vendors first had to move elsewhere. ..................
