&gt; The building across the street had a downstairs area that used to be another deli&#x2F;coffee shop, but at one point but when rents went up, the owner couldn&#x27;t afford rent and closed, but it had been sitting vacant for around 3+ years by the time I worked there.<p>I&#x27;ve seen that happen too many times, and have to wonder what the hell the owners were thinking. It feels like sweet justice though.
