UTOPIA: Not here, folks

I was watching KHQ mourn their inability to fight drugs in Spokane. Talking about fighting their troubles in the Brownes Addition. Guess they never lived there, any of those pansy reporters. Maybe they never had their bicycle stolen, when it had no place to be locked up. Maybe they don’t remember that you couldn’t order a newspaper, because your neighbors would steal it off the front porch before you could get to it at 5:30 a.m.

Oh, and living in a grandfathered old building. I was wondering why I was paying so much money every month. I called Avista. Turned out, the landlords had the washers and the dryers wired into my apartment. I WAS PAYING for everyone’s laundry. I paid a friend and we wired the laundry room to another apartment. Did I care? Not a chance.

C’Mon, let’s be honest with one another. Spokane and CdA just steal from the common man and woman. They always want to say, “This is such a great place to live!” Maybe they have not lived under the overpass.
