Ahhhh….spring. Don’t you just love the tweeting of the little birdies, the bloomin’ ‘o the daffodils and the yearly return ‘o the neighborhood drug dealer. I am amazed at your brashness….you stand out in the parking lot of the building next to mine….not worrying that there is a playground across the street from you no more than 15 feet away. It’s quite apparent that you are dealing….hell one night I walked through that very same lot (after getting off the bus on the way home from a legit job I might add) and you so kindly asked: “can I help you”….I wanted to say: “help me with what? My laundry? My homework? Explain your terms sir!!!!!
Know this fuck face…I have made the cops aware of you and will keep doing so until something is done about you.

Get out of that fucking slum. Fairview is a terrible neighborhood. Oddly enough, it’s gotten worse since the Hells Angels clubhouse was shut down.
Yes, it is that time of year indeed. Makes me reminisce about my first drug offer on Gottingen…. Just a very casual, “Hey girlfriend, wanna buy some crack?” from an older gentleman. He also may have said grass but I was not to ask him to repeat himself. I took off speed walking until the guy disappeared. comes along with the twitter of birds!
Fairview always had rough edges, right back to the time when you could buy drugs at the bowling alley (long since razzed). Although it’s pretty much a blue collar neighbourhood, it’s not the safest place to walk after dark.
Why does Fairview have to be like that? Is it that there’s not enough police presence? Do the police care? Do richer neighborhoods (ie. the bigger tax payers) get better protection?
We used to call it Fair-Phew. Its most interesting feature is the dumpster behind the Kentucky Yuck.
umm does he offer rollbacks with a simley face? didn’t think customer service was for drug dealers too. what a fucking asshole.
I totally have the same deal going on (and around) where my friends live. There’s always someone standing on the streetcorner waiting to try and sell you crack and such. Arn’t people just grand?
I worked on Agricola Street when the Angels clubhouse was there and it was the fucking safest area you could imagine at the time. When they moved, the crime rate jumped. Same thing seems to be happening in Fairview.
Matt: I went to the old West too. 🙂 It’s sad to see they’ve done nothing with the vacant lot. I agree, the area has gotten a lot worse since that clubhouse has gone under.
I graduated in ’99, and was in grade 11 when they started trying to ‘fix’ the problem. I remember having days of half classes because they had to shut down an entire wing of the school to do work on. Do you remember Mr. Andrews? (only the best teacher EVER!)
Yes..i knew both of them. Very sad.(john walker and greg martin?)
ok whats next???
I was thinking the same thing Matt..Mcnuts.
You probably dated. Even the internet is a small world these days.
Are you guys sure you’re not the same person (*gasp!)Kidding….
