Screwed Again!

     My rent's going up, surer 'n hell.  This is what's going up right across the street from my loft.  It used to park over there.

    A whole lotsa construction is going on in my part of Dowtown L.A.  Around Grand, Hill, Spring, between  7th and 8th.  I asked my manager, when I signed up for another year's lease.  "Hey, rent increase?  30 story condo's going up across the street."
     "I don't know nothing about any increase.    Hey no problem.  No problem."
     Why am I suspicious?  Always question authority.  I'm still not 100% on the moon walk, (Sound stage at Langley?)  JFK assasination, (Lone gunman?)  9/11, (Trade Center buildings callapsed straight down as though they were detonated?)  Twinkees, (How could they be bad for us when they tasted soooo good?)

     I'm just waiting for the official looking notice to get taped up on my door.  'This property has been sold.  You've got 30 days to clear out, before we bring in ye 'ol wrecking ball.  We're REALLY sorry for any inconvenience.  Really!"

     Stay tuned.   My next place could be a cement bench in Pershing Squre.  Hell, it's free rent over there!  Lofts are hard to find in my price range.
     So, until next time (where's my Jim Beam and Ginger Ale?)  I thank you for your support.
