Really, writing is how you make your living? I thought you were a sleep therapist cuz your columns are dozers, you could not possibly be more boring. Now I know why they give the Reader away for free.— September 23, 2008 11:06 p.m.

Wow dude 3:24am, now wipe your nose and read carefully. I am one of those "greedy landlords" that hung on through the hard times and now are getting the rents and the tenants that warrant my investment. By all means please bring your brand of coolness (scene kids, coke heads, skinny jean punks, gang bangers) to the east so that the property I own there can yuppify and I can acheive more prosperity and pay $6 a gallon gas. Besides if I did not patronize Applebees or Trader Jo's you and your buddies would be out of work. Now, just to set the record straight I haven't even come close to foreclosure ( its hard to foreclose when there is no mortgage) but I have evicted a few of your kind that can't pay the rent or follow the rules.— September 7, 2008 3:39 p.m.
There she goes....
adamcrisis - I was born and raised in North Park. I was there during the sixties when it was a thriving business and shopping center. This continued through most of the seventies until the neighborhood changed for the worse and the business ditrict became home to dive bars, thrift stores, 99 cent stores, storefront churches etc. The business district was on life support, landlords and business owners alike were letting their properties fall into a state of complete disrepair.It was during this time that s**thole dive bars like scolaris catered to drunken, coke sniffing scum bags (i.e.scenesters, junkies, punks). I say good riddance to f***ed up places like Scolari's and welcome La Boheme, welcome Starbucks, welcome restautants. The new North Park does not want your broke ass around here anyway. If you still feel the need impress your date and hang out with trannies or get a hooker or buy some dope just stay on University and head east past the 805.— September 6, 2008 7:29 p.m.
