yah. it's .5 miles. the closet.

so, you shop there out of convenience. and, like everyone else in the world, you rationalize why it's ok to do so. there's really no need to valorize the place in order to excuse it for its asschomp behavior. it's especially silly to uphold it for being located in the inner harbor district. it's hardly like they're _really_ locating in a blighted neighborhood. they're in the gentrified, revitalized area where they catch the tourist and downtown yuppie biz ferchrisake.
