type="cite">Paul, you're right, it totally looks like a sex shop
from the 80's! I agree they should have gone through the legal
hoops for the signage but I still feel like there are many more
important issues currently plaguing the neighborhood; shootings,
theft and prostitution all have a much more negative impact on
property values much more so than someones definition of bad
signage. Someone had to complain about it to bring attention to
it. This is an urban environment and you see this kind of signage
all the time in places like Brooklyn, NY or Philadelphia. I still
say at the least it provided light to an otherwise darkened
block. I can see the sign from my back deck and it didn't bother
me at all. It was turned off at 8-8:30, no big deal. Thanks for
the visual Paul, I'll never look at that store in the same light.

<p class="MsoNormal">Many of you know that the former
convenience store on 27<sup>th</sup> between Guilford
and Calvert Street that had been run by Ms Sue was sold
over the summer and completely gutted and renovated,
inside and out. </p>

<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"> </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>
