hm. this building that was like sort of in my neighborhood (i don’t typically walk that far but yeah i guess same neighborhood) that was like, old but kinda beautiful to me, apparently it used to be a casket place, but like they were gonna convert the building into a train station which would’ve been fucking great considering all the goddamn stigma against my neighborhood has left it so empty so like it would’ve been nice to at least have someplace to go!!!! transportation is good and i don’t like driving!!! also my whole thought was hey!!! maybe train = more people = yada yada demand for stuff = opportunity to bring back arts culture to the neighborhood like finally getting that theater moved in and also oh idk getting a music venue like we’ve been trying to do for years,,,,,,,, but lo and behold!!!! yesterday morning that building got into a MASSIVE fucking fire and is gonna be demolished and like. oh the town sure as HELL isn’t gonna be building something new for the possibility of a train station because they absolutely hate our neighborhood. they absolutely loathe it. so like there goes that like entirely. damn.
