yeah, that lady was a nut anyways. she said a bunch of other crazy shit about the area that I didn’t include, and all of it was hard to believe, so I don’t.
and yes sir there is a liquor store, it’s across the street from the soul food place. also, 24 hour checks cashed, in case you need money for booze at 5am.
Hey I wonder if the crazy lady who moved away from being my neighbor to YOUR neighborhood to be YOUR neighbor! Her name was/is “Mrs Currey” (we were never aware of a first name but I think I heard it was Beverley) and she once came to our door sobbing upset because she was convinced the people down the hall were cooking crack in their kitchen and poisoning her water with it! She also had a large metal rod (think: shower rod) she used to wave at the potheads in the stairwell in an attempt to scare them off. But they were really harmless mellow pothead dudes so it was kind of funny. I think her family put her in a home in Queens though.
Jackpot! I tell ya…if you said they sell Arrogant Bastard ale there, I’m coming to visit. (the store that is) It’s my fave brew and can’t find it here. (yet, still on the hunt)
The price is a sin, but Whole Foods (currently in the process of taking over Manhattan) sells Arrogant Bastard and occasionally other Stone Brewing offerings at most locations. Fairway (Manhattan and Red Hook, Brooklyn) does as well, same obscene markup issue.
You may get lucky, though: in my neighborhood (Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn), there are several grocery stores and bodegas that regularly seem to get the odds and ends off the truck. I’ve occasionally found Arrogant Bastard for $3 a bottle, sitting right next to the Ballantine Ale 40s.
I had a crappy non-cable getting TV and a clock radio when I moved into my first apartment. I vividly remember unpacking to Baywatch and getting very tired of classic rock. Be strong.
Hey now! There are TONS of good Santana songs, just not the ones with That Nickelback guy and Rob Tomas.
The more you get into the spanish-themed stuff he has, the better it is. (Also, “Feels Like Fire” and that one he did with Clapton)

A neighborhood with a soul-food joint can’t be *all* bad. Is there a liquor store nearby too? Then it would be great!

How can you complain about hearing Santana on the radio?
Come in France, and you’ll get nothing but bad hip hop and 80s “oldies” all the time…
