If you want to live near Hopkins, Hampden has a huge grocery store called Moms that I walk to from my home every week. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance too.

We have a bollard installed near our house too for this exact reason. We’ve still had cars knock stuff off our house and what not. Is there a minimum width an alley needs to be for vehicle travel?

Yeah I basically stopped going when I was like 21-22, but six or seven years ago there was a free concert we went to and I had to leave briefly after the show after dark and when I went to get back in the bouncer guy wouldn’t let me back in because I didn’t have sleeves? I guess it was on their list of shit they turn people away for at night. Dude literally said something about keeping the place classy. Place was becoming a shit show anyways by that point so we all left. It’s definitely the spot to go if you’re young and want to get blackout drunk, and fight and/or dry hump a random person.

Dunno about coconuts, but if you’re looking for tiki cocktails, Heritage Smokehouse of all places has amazing tiki cocktails. I believe Sugarvale does tiki cocktails too. Not sure if it’s an every night thing. Lucky Buns was kind of scratching that itch too for awhile, but they abruptly closed a little while back. Still hoping someone at some point takes the plunge and goes all in on a real deal tiki bar like Archipelago in DC or Hidden Harbor in Pittsburgh.

Ours jumped about 10%. It was valued at 262k, now it’s been reassessed for 288k. We paid 270k. Given how things are right now, I wonder if it would even be worth it to appeal. Yeah, it’s more than what we paid but I also think houses of a similar quality and size to ours are selling for at least 300k, if not more right now.

Yeah but there is also the simple fact that the kids doing this make up a very small portion of kids in this city who come from virtually identical circumstances, the overwhelming majority of which choose not to victimize other people. This is absolutely a choice and they could have gone another way.
