Purple drink store! Or they could bring in the Russian Olympic planning committee to help 'develop the area'.

I love the thought process: Denying economic opportunity = loving black people. You would have made quite the plantation massa.
Lot of Trader Joe's lovers here. I don't see the big deal with putting restrictions on the type of business that goes into that spot. I also don't see the big deal with restricting the LO condo porject.
This entire discussion reminds me of how I tried to buy a house in a particular area of St. Johns a couple years ago, and I was denied because our household income was too great. WTF?
1) It's a beverage, not a drug. 2) I'm going with Dave Chappelle who says Purple drink in his standup, so leave me alone.
It's a drink-able drug. Prescription strength codeine is a drug. Google it. If you type in "purple drink", google literally asks you if you meant, "purple drank". No joke. Just sayin'.
And I love how easily you people are trolled. Such outrage! PapaG chose to assign me my opinion, so I assigned him his.
What? Typical bullshit post from you. Black people shouldn't have nice things in their neighborhood seems to be your approach. You still haven't explained your position, other than the usual "he's a racist" nonsense.
Go back and show me where I said what my position was and I'll go back and show you where you said you hate black people.
