I'm so paranoid about my bag being stolen, I'd probably shove it up my ass if I could. I usually keep it on my lap. I never put it on the back of a chair or on the floor.

yeah, and I remember when both were around there was "For Rent" and "For Lease" signs all over South St.


It's just now more lower number streets, but the area around Tower was always changing with only a hand full of stores staying during the 90s and early 00.
