I agree with Paul. Sometimes I think that communities do this sort
of thing because this is the only control they have. Communities
can't control crime so they try to control neighborhood businesses.
Priorities misplaced.<br>

27th and the orginal sign cost almost $15,000. Why would someone
choose to put so much effort into complaining about a neighborhood
business when there are many other more important issues at hand?
If anything, the sign provided light to an otherwise dark block
and it's not like the sign is on all night long, they close
between 8 and 8:30. It looks like they've painted over the
original sign with blue paint and now it looks completely drab.
One of the best things a community can do is to support a well run
business. So completely lame. Move to the county if you want
everything to be "perfect".<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The fellows that opened the new store
are great! Its clean, well stocked with myriad needs,
deli meats, eggs, and everything you need in the middle
of a recipe. They also take requests to stock your any
need. It opened under the name Jalines.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> They installed a huge canopy that
kept you dry while coming and going, and while it might
not have been for everyone, it had the name and tag
lines of the store to advertise its presence. I’m
guessing it cost more than $5,000. Imagine our surprise
last week when we saw them painting over the sign, and
removing any and all exterior signage. The owners told
us somebody complained – not one house faces 27<sup>th</sup>
Street – and they had to remove everything. They were
visibly upset, and now are threatening to leave the
neighborhood. Who would cause such a fuss? </p>
