Famous Pub did nothing but fill the streets with drunken Emoroids every weekend. The unemployment office and coin laundry are both high-traffic, low-revenue tenants who would fit in better in another part of town. All single family homes and apartment blocks around here have laundry facilities, and the vast majority of us have jobs.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing who fills these open slots in the Toco Hill roster. Hopefully it will be something a bit nicer than having an unemployment office right next to the liquor store and coin laundry.

Definitely not a big box store though. Pottery Barn-ish, mid-range clothing stores... would keep me from heading outside of the county.
