| Would that be the same street as Soho and a few other clubs? |

To answer a few of your questions...
No it is not on the same hill as Soho. That's homo hill right?
It was song room before it was our store. Sadly the lights had to go. There were so many spiders down there that we had to get rid of everything. The place was striped to the bare cement walls, floor and ceiling.
As for the hookers. I believe there will be no problems with them. They already leave me alone and two of the places in the building are for rent (Beaver's Wings II?). If they do bother you as in try yelling at you when you are going through the entrance, please let me know. I have a super soaker 3000 just for such occassions.
My wife actually told me a very interesting story about the store. A few years ago, perhaps when it was the song room, it was a place where all the TV personalities in Korea went to get their drugs. That's right, they were dealing right out of the place. The coppers caught on as they wondered why the hell all these famous people were coming in and out of this place. My had to sign a special contract stating that we would not sell drugs there (seriously). |

Are the walls nice and sturdy?
I bet whoever built the walls in your new store must have been a wizard with a hammer. A modern day Thor if you will.
Probably damn handsome too. |

And Sparkx has a corner of the store named for him. I am thinking of putting the gay erotic fiction section there (had to do it buddy).
You never did respond to my request to dance in front of the store on opening day! |

Tempting. I could spend the time when I didn't have customers sitting on your couch reading books that I wouldn't buy drinking coffee that I wouldn't pay for. Every once in a while I could let out some wisecrack about something in order not to be forgotten.
Then you could come over for some ass-burning wings and a beer after you've finished selling books for the night and we could talk about the girls that we almost screwed when we were in high school and other almosts and then trudge back to our respective homes at the end of it all.
But naw. Sounds too close to being domesticated. |

Just rent the arch of blue and white balloons, pump out some cheese-ass k-pop and lemme wear that pair of embroidered "What the Book" nuthuggers that you and wifee use for "roleplay" and consider it done.
I just hope the hookers don't think i'm invading their turf and try to start a cat fight with me. A pile of dead hookers in front of the store on opening day may not be good for business. |
