The Hyacinth Place sounds like a worthy goal oriented structure. But I have to call BS on their statement that they'll be some sort of neighborhood catalyst. If anything, homeless and recovery shelters retard the redevelopment of a neighborhood. I'm not saying they aren't necessary. But it's BS to say they are going to ba a neighborhood recovery catalyst. It'd be much better if we were honest - we have this need in the community but to answer the need the surrounding community will be at least marginally negatively impacted.
Anyone wondering if they live in 5B08 feel free to check out the map on the Trinidad web site. Hopefully once the strip club opens up in Hillman's house he'll buy a second home over here in Trinidad :-)
If I'm buying close to the strip club I'm buying close enough to get a cut of the action, money wise.
hmmm. there isn't a specific address for the hyacinth place project. just that it's on bladensburg. anybody know the exact address?
i have to agree with hillman on this one. it's better to be honest, because it *will* have some ramifications...
1058 Bladensburg (just down from Mudrick's).
gotcha, inked.
what do you think?
