Talking with an old friend

I had breakfast today with an old friend from my DC days. He related an interesting case. DC is condemning property to build a new stadium. One of the most difficult cases involves a guy who runs a number of gay porn shops in an out of the way, seedy, area. They offered him new, prime, property, readily accessible, and he declined. He explained that some of his clientele includes high government employees and officials and businessmen and such, and they obviously don't want to be seen entered his establishments, so he wants some isolated, perhaps seedy, area. I suppose in all businesses the key is location, location, location!

Then on the way back the little battery symbol on the dashboard lit up. There went the alternator! Had to get that and the battery replaced, but at least it kept going until I got to the shop.
