Won't you be my neighbor?


Since we arrived, we've endured hours of endless banging and noise from next door. (8am to 6 pm--even on weekends!) From what we could tell they gutted out the apartments next door and were renovating. We didn't know if it would end up as business or residential space. The other day the mystery was solved. Workers put up a 7-Eleven sign up on both sides of the street. While having a convenience store next door will be...well....convenient, it might just end up as a nuisance. There might be more trash on our sidewalks and vagabonds hanging around at all hours of the night. On the other hand, who loves 7-11 more than cops? If the po-po are around more it might bode well for neighborhood security. I'd be more forgiving if Mexican 7-11s had Slurpees (cherry coke slurpee...a great cure for a hangover), but they're extinct here. More to come when they have their grand opening!
