I’m over our neighborhood. A developer opened up a little strip mall at the entrance to the hood and I thought, if I were developer trying to make a successful strip mall what would I put there…
1. A pack and ship
2. Coffee shop that serves breakfast stuff
3. Dry cleaner
4. A bank that people actually use
5. Twin Liquors
What did we get? The dry cleaner that never shows up to work and a Subway. Of all the franchises, Subway? And the bank… Some local bank that sits there with NO customers yet Wells Fargo seems to have lost the part of the map where I live because they’re EVERYWHERE else. Weird.
Asside from that, the local city govt. seems hell bent on pretending this part of town doesn’t exist going so far as to no build fly-overs to get to or from this part of town at highway intersections. So, it’s not my imagination, you can’t get here from there…
Solution found, we’re leaving. Going to the part of town we should have been living in when we moved here. Somewhere north of downtown, close enough for a good bike ride to work, near established businesses and, even a few local pubs. Instead of the burbs where we’re hoping someone will build what we want we’ll just go where it already is. I feel silly figuring this out now. Oh well, we’re on our way.
