Re Shaky Eyez. Can't wait for the usual drug dealers to hang out in front of the store. With the closed Verizon store, Shaky Eyez (open 24 hours ?) , McDonalds (open 24 hours, one can only wonder how shitty it is in there at 4 AM), a very sad section of 14th ST between 1st Ave and Ave A, I try to walk past this horrow show section ASAP.
