But I will grant you that Empire is not anywhere as bad as Superdive. If you think Raven and Korova were bad neighbors, you're crazy! Korova was set so far back we never heard a peep. Raven was LOVED. <br /><br />Empire is very pretty, but their hardcore PR and hipster doofishness is off-putting, and they are animals haters, so I'm not a fan. Still. They're no Superdive.

And you should be kinder to those working hard in their small business. As for worrying about lard DrG, I was blessed with great genetics, I think my diet can take it. My post was really just disgust at the over the top slaying of two nice, so far considerate small business owners. That block has had some awful business's , Superdive, Habib lounge, Kordova MB, Raven.....pretty much drug and alcohol pits that were incredibly inconsiderate neighbors!
