Many stores sit empty for months and even years instead of the LL lowering his rent as he is waiting for the big fish.<br />Great for the rest of us as we will be taking the bus/taxi to do laundry on the outskirts of town.

More than any of us are paying now on A between 10 and 11. The LL is out of his skull. He will regret it after he rolls the dice on a restaurant and it folds up like a cheap suit before '13 is out.

Screw us tenants who can't afford those.<br />10:55 am said...noreply@blogger.com
