708 711.6117I just felt712.2692 
710 712.5350bad because they were tearing up their own s- neighborhoods and715.8226 
712 716.3154you know.716.7724

1354 1369.0110maybe- I think a big part of it was the relationship that the-1372.3391 
1356 1372.5723the owners had built up with the community there.1375.1369 
1358 1375.7512I think um-1376.5765

1370 1387.9098those um-1388.6092 
1372 1389.0848Cause it- You know, you could go in there and they knew who you were.1391.5795

1382 1402.3158you know.1402.7168 
1384 1404.0271But some of the other places did too, so why did-1406.3714 
1386 1406.9263I'm not really sure why they chose not to-1409.0153
