crap

So it begins again...somebody is moving into the old building over there... everyone in there has been a problem, given us problems, made problems. Everyone goes in with these grand ideas of what they are going to do for our neighbourhood, without understanding that our neighbourhood IS going in the general direction we want it to go. Not to be heartless, but we don't want another homeless centre...we have several, SEVERAL within a few blocks already. We have the giant new Salvation Army going in two blocks from here in December. We have the drop-in centre, the methadone clinic, the two emergency shelters, the needle exchange all within 5 blocks....we have Spanglish there selling crack pipes....it is enough. But, hey, maybe I got it all wrong. Those three cars with no tags that appeared overnight? The other car with the giant roofrack and the Patridge Family from Hell bus? Maybe they are going to make music, not trouble...maybe Reubin and Danny and Keith will be here having bake sales and hosting potlucks...could happen, right?
All I know is that this familiar ache is back in my shoulder and I can feel a twitch forming in my right eyelid. It should have burned when it was empty.
I hope I am wrong. I hope I hope I hope.
