Follow his advice and you'll be drinking a Jack and cola while doing the wango tango all the way to the bank. 

I am drinking my own prescribed "medicine" btw. :-)90011, 90205, 90280, 90018, 90201 etchttp://www.zipmap.net/California/Los_Angeles_Count...Keep in mind what's happening downtown is starting to spiral outwards.

We could meet in the evening at Fidel's or Pangea for a drink.

The food and drinks there are cheap, but the cost of clothing, cars, etc. are all imported and priced similarly to what you'd pay here in the states.

We meet at 6:30 and they get dinner and drinks ordered.  

I totally respect if someone has a personal reason for not wanting to meet at a place that serves alcohol as a primary beverage and can rework the plan to accommodate anyone with that preference.

If you were really thirsty, you could drink that cup, but go without the rest of what that well could produce.Likewise, you need to put a little in to get all that you want out.  

Now same story, but you are not drinking but run the stop sign, same result. 

Local residents should take initiative to fix their own neighborhoods and lives.Maybe I'm cold and believe that people should be responsible for their own lives-- and in the slums, that could mean 80 hours a week, getting off welfare, educating oneself, skimping by on Ramen and having no TV/phone/cable/other luxury service or goods, shopping thrift stores for clothes, not smoking or drinking (expensive), not going out to eat or to clubs or movies when poverty-striken on welfare, cutting all expenses when on welfare and taking any job that's offered, making wise choices, and moving away from the slums.

Maybe "finder" for "bird dog" as in the link I posted a few days ago, but say "wholesaler" to anyone outside this site (or select REI circles) and they think about products (tobacco, alcohol, automobiles, etc.) not property.
