Prior to Superdive that space was for many years, maybe even a decade, Korova Milk Bar. Not the greatest bar ever, but definitely kept the spirit of the neighborhood. During that time the members of the douche-culture were still in grade school. Now that the ABC animal hospital is in there maybe it's a sign that the shelf life of the 'woo' is as shallow as those that are part of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-13222742809017998362014-02-27T09:03:30.434-05:002014-02-27T09:03:30.434-05:00We've replaced animals with the good kind of a...We've replaced animals with the good kind of animals.
