Territorial Pissings

Corporate America is coming to North Park.

The revitalization is taking a strong grasp on the community.
From the up & coming art scene, Off the Record moving into North Park,
the rebirth of the NP Theater, and all the small neighborhood coffee shops
(4 within walking distance of my house).

Of course, with revitalization comes large conglomerates that want
to be a hinge in the community. Here comes Starbucks. Don’t get me wrong,
I love me some SB. As a matter of fact, I drink more Starbucks that
getting a cup o’ joe at the neighborhood shops.

Sure the neighborhood is starting to look NICE and feel more safe
in the bad parts, but just remember to support the small guys before
they all disappear.
