Dear Former-Business-Owner-on-Richmond Avenue,
I know this is too little, too late (as the poets say), since your designer dress shop has already gone out of business…but you just plain should have known better.
I mean, this isn’t really the right economy for a fancy-schmancy dress shop, for one thing. But setting up right next door to a whorehouse? That wasn’t exactly smart. What do realtors always say? Location, location, location.
And really, “next door to a whorehouse” is not the location you — or your upscale clients — were looking for.
Maybe you did this deliberately. Perhaps you thought that designer blouses and low-rent blow jobs went hand-in-hand — or member-in-hand, as the case may be. I don’t know, you could have been set up by an unscrupulous leasing agent — or you could have been pioneering the new “Hand Jobs and Hand Bags District” of Houston. But hindsight is 20/20 — and I bet you can see clearly that you needed glasses when you signed that lease.
I just saw that someone new has rented your old space, Former-Business-Owner-on-Richmond Avenue. They’re remodeling, and they can remodel all they want, but there will still be a whorehouse next door. Also, the parking will still be shitty. Oh, well — live and learn, eh?
Good luck in future endeavors…
Sincerely,
Sarah
