AGAIN… Wishful thinking, much? Shit in one hand (that would be the comments on this blog) and wish in the other (that would be reality) and see which one gets filled first.

Unfortunately, the godawful, soulless, neighborhood-killing, depressing Soviet-bloc condos at 17th and Hoff have yet to fall apart.

You read wrong — it wasn’t “please don’t take it personally”, it was “please don’t change” (you did get the “laughing at you” part right, though). Courtesy is a two-way street; my manners are what they are, abominable, just like your reliance on cliche and platitude in your commentary. There’s no reason for either of us to fix what works for us!

Giant Value had a pretty cool basement, all full of oriental rugs. And possibly decomposing bodies. I loved it down there.

I genuinely wonder if that’s true. Sure, virgin redwood costs more than concrete, but I have to think that there can be more creative uses of the materials being utilized in this building. At least uses that don’t look like every single other damned building going up in the country these days.

Read: “please, don’t take it personally. I’m just laughing at you”. You, Boney Bob, need to work on your manners.

Please, don’t trouble yourself on my account — I’m enjoying a good laugh at your notion of “soul”.

Besides, you know perfectly well that those buildings will have more soul than they can handle, once the neighborhood vandals get through repainting them.

One night I was walking home from Mission Records, and from about a block away from Giant Value we could the sound of a giant robot voice over the intercom from Hell repeating three words at top volume: Y AXIS ERROR. Y AXIS ERROR. Over and over, louder than bombs, in the middle the night. Turns out it was one of the claw machines out front of Giant Value, which apparently had some some of problem with its Y axis, and wanted the whole neighborhood to know about it. It was hilarious!

ZIMS! I grew up in the Sunset, used to go there all the time.
