oh man i learned that that intersection is the worst part of springfield its just the gas station hud housing and a bad rental there
the drug dealing on that corner at night is plain to see. thats crazy because 7 and 9 street there are really really nice.

Yeah, I've seen dealing a lot there. Its so open, I don't understand why the cops aren't busting some of that up.

But it does provide countless hours of free entertainment. There's a tranny named Coco (or Kiki?) that randomly busts it out to 'Thriller' playing from a boombox across the way at the open gas station. And from what I understand, it's quite a show. :D

The day labor place directly across from it is open again, I'm guessing as a day labor place again because the lights are on when I come home from work in the morning and there's usually a few guys hanging out in front of it. Makes me happy I'm back on Walnut- what a difference a block makes.

I believe that several people have tried to buy this place, but there are contamination issues with it.. I live near here, on Walnut, the activity at this property has calmed down a bit. Not too long ago there were people dealing right out of the garage part. They had the door partially opened and would do their business inside. I've seen the cops parking here quite a bit. I do like the building and I hope that someone comes along before too long and saves it.. Nice model, it's too bad you couldn't make the real building look that good again..

because, man, nothing's worse than a business that coördinates people in desparate need ov jobs with companies that need work done that most people aren't willing to do.  it's disgusting the way they help keep people in food and shelter without just giving handouts!
