Not Surprising
All the corner stores from forest hills until the Sq. on Wash allow people to purchase cigarettes with food stamps. They will also give you cash in exchange for a fee on peoples wic cards.
This surprises you how?
Forest Hills is at the convergence of three police districts and is equally ignored by all of them. I know that, people who steal Honda wheels and break into the Dogwood know that and the store owners know that. You can get away with just about anything there, which bodes super well for the two new bars... I mean, restaurants... going into the old Paul Griffin's space.
If you think Foley's Fireside or the Drinking Fountain are rough, you should have seen Paul's. If it was Mos Eisley, Han and Greedo would have both found a way to shoot first.
The only thing rough about
The only thing rough about the Fireside at this point is the cleanliness of the tap lines
WTF?
"Being in the company of a person in possession of heroin?" Is that even a thing?
What I learned tonight
Being a member of The Velvet Underground was a felony.
