Anywho, www.perkupop.com will be opening soon! :)

Being a coffee whore/diva, I'm always game for trying new places. Checking the menu they also have sammiches....mmm-mmm-mmm

Probably won't be visiting the one downtown, but there's one out by where I work.

apparently the owners live in my building

So are you still living in the mushroom groves and fording the hallways to get to your apartment :P

yeah, as it turns out they wouldn't let me break my lease without paying once I took their offer to stay in a hotel, but I did let them know I contacted Seven on Your Side or something similar on one of the stations and that they really wanted to do a story here and I found someone who said he'd pay for me to break my lease if something bad happened again so long as I let the news station come in and do a story... he hates this building as much as everyone in it and he doesn't even live here. The news couldn't do a story on the building because the day they came out to setup for the story, the management posted a notice saying that the construction for the repairs was set to begin and last a week (AHHAHAHAA IT'S STILL GOING ON!) and then midway through the construction, an apartment had a pretty decent fire on the 6th floor, thus ruining flooring in pretty much every apartment on and below 6, so then MORE contractors had to come out to fix that mess....I'm without flooring in my 30ft entryway into my living room where it's down to the ( ... )

Sheesh! With all the water in the place, how does anything catch on fire?! With these kinds of horror stories I don't see how the word 'Professional' even fits in with the name of the building.

Now you can't even tell the police knocked a giant hole in the wall where the previous tenants were storing drugs

Look on the bright side. At least it was drugs and not bodies :P

well, i heard that the sprinkler system put out a pretty good hunk of the fire...looking around my apartment there are at least 10 sprinklers... however, the fire dept. still had to come running in to flood the place... hah.

ps. my windows are rattling hahaa. car alarms are going off. bahahah

10 sprinklers in 1 apartment? Sounds like if there is a fire, you're in more of a threat of drowning than the actual flames and smoke.

ps. my windows are rattling hahaa. car alarms are going off. bahahah

More aircraft flyovers?

tequilalemonade August 26 2007, 00:40:05 UTC

see, i don't care how many sprinklers are there, i just know that in the event that i leave crap on the stove like the last guy, my apartment probably won't totally burn haha

megiloth August 26 2007, 02:40:19 UTC

Sounds like there are sprinklers everywhere. I suppose if you time it right, and avoid fires, you could grab a bar of soap and get a shower as you're running out the door!

tequilalemonade August 26 2007, 02:55:07 UTC

yup!

the police are here right now.... the perp escaped police....awesome!

megiloth August 26 2007, 03:06:05 UTC

Perp? Police? Who? What? Where? *confused*

Anyhoo, back to the original topic of this thread...I went to that PerkUp place over by my work at College and Queervira. Not bad. Their "Signature Panini" kicked ass. The Caffe Americano tasted different. Not sure if it's the beans or the water though. Tasted kinda dirty. Lots of candy, popcorn, candy apples, cookies, brownies, etc. I'm definitely checking them out again.

Oh yeah, I mentioned it was my first time there and they asked how I heard aboot the place. I slipped and said, "a friend"...DOH!! So do you mind if I add ya? You seem pretty cool and you piss off people in this community, something I've been known to do few times :P

tequilalemonade August 26 2007, 03:16:57 UTC

sure :)

megiloth August 26 2007, 03:41:32 UTC

Thank ya, ma'am

i'm not sure how much you'll like me... the first thing i know about you is that you're a Republican....

megiloth August 26 2007, 03:47:58 UTC

Oh believe me. I'm not the typical stodgy, holier than thou Republican. There's only a couple politically like-minded people on my friends list. I've got a couple token liberals, and some Libertarians. Believe it or not, Dubya has been annoying to even me on certain issues...and the current crop of GOP candidate...ugh

So, it's all good...besides how many other Republicans do you know can snort dogtags? (see my recent post)
