Photo By Todd Heintz, posted to Facebook albumTonight I plan to buy booze at Merwins Liquor and have a "buttfence bonfire" of celebration, because Merwins has done the right thing. They have replaced the notorious "butt fence" or "butt wall" with an attractive and secure feature which does not yet have a clever name, but give it time, give it time. No doubt the expense to Merwins was considerable, but this represents a great improvement to the neighborhood and addresses a problem which has dragged down revitalization for years.

It should be pointed out there are already reports of "Butt Fencians" congregating near Walgreens on West Broadway, some bringing their own buckets for sitting. However, the march of massive revitalization is inevitable. If a butt fence emerges elsewhere, it's just more material to blog about, another victory to achieve. The good people are winning in NoMi, and this neighborhood is getting better every day.

Yay!
ReplyDeleteA reason to patronize this business and to celebrate a success, indeed!
Damn. I drove by there at 1:20 this afternoon and thought I had a scoop for you. I guess not.
ReplyDeletegoodbye...butt fence.
ReplyDeleteI was there around 4:30, nobody milling around by the fence. But there was a huge crowd of young hooligans on the east side of the building.
ReplyDeleteHow bout the Merwin Wall like the Berlin Wall. OFF THE WALL!OFF I SAY!
