In fourteen years at my old place, much closer to Beautiful Downtown Broadripple, I had three drunks stop by -- one door-kicking young lady who was sure she was at her (recently ex?) boyfriend's apartment; one quietly, insistently, sadly inebriated attorney who sat down on our porch and could <I>not</I> remember where she lived; and one plain old won't-go-away, sure-I-live-here drunk who thought I was just <I>mean</I> to not let her in. <BR/><BR/> ...And people wonder why I will only just barely drink...! It's not a crime to be that lost (IMO) but it's no way I wanna be.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-53051804564701011332008-04-03T14:48:00.000-04:002008-04-03T14:48:00.000-04:00Besides, Broad Ripple has enough problems of its o...Besides, Broad Ripple has enough problems of its own, admittedly though they're usually of "annoying drunk/dirty hippy" variety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-56561200270239217192008-04-02T07:03:00.000-04:002008-04-02T07:03:00.000-04:00It's a thought, Matt; but it's always better if ne...It's a thought, Matt; but it's always better if neigbors take care of their own neighborhood.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-41640102653290050552008-04-02T04:23:00.000-04:002008-04-02T04:23:00.000-04:00You and Tamara *could* take to picking up a cup of...You and Tamara *could* take to picking up a cup of their milder roast drip coffees, black. <BR/><BR/>You know, like trolling through chummed waters.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-41530433443726751542008-04-01T19:13:00.000-04:002008-04-01T19:13:00.000-04:00I've gotten coffee from that Starbucks, and I've d...I've gotten coffee from that Starbucks, and I've done it while wearing a suit-n-tie <I>and</I> driving a Lexus.<BR/><BR/>But hey, I'm not surprised that someone knocked the place over, I always thought it was a weird location for a Starbucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-58340034078486992072008-04-01T17:59:00.000-04:002008-04-01T17:59:00.000-04:00"lowlives"...i like it...and used here perfectly i..."lowlives"...i like it...and used here perfectly in context, i might add... <BR/><BR/>and not redundant either..."to the lowlifes of the street living their lowlives on the street, the starbucks looked like an atm ripe for withdrawals"...cool new word...<BR/><BR/>jtcthe pawnbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643081755036536592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-92187098724049085462008-04-01T15:18:00.000-04:002008-04-01T15:18:00.000-04:00Pullins said he is a frequent customer of the Star...<I><A HREF="http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080401/NEWS03/80401008" REL="nofollow">Pullins said he is a frequent customer of the Starbucks.</A> He stopped there Monday for coffee and a copy of the New York Times after attending the opening of a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office at 442 N.
