I think DireWolf inadvertently hits the nail on the head in describing the attitude of some of the urban newbies with his use of the word “entitled.”

Whether or not a bar exists below your residence, I think every resident is entitled to expect that their neighbors, bar or not, will get rid of their trash in a timely manner and a sanitary manner. Just being a bar shouldn’t give you a pass.

A friend of mine suggests that Andy’s pants may be on fire due to eating too many bean pies.

to that i would just say that people need to use common sense when buying a place. I guess there are a lot of first generation city dwellers in DC who dont take things into account. like. If I buy a unit directly above a restaurant-bar. will it be noisy? will there be rats and trash in the alley? (answer: yes).
another example. If buy a house on an up and coming commercial corridor is there a chance a wine bar will open within ear shot of my front porch (answer: yes)

I think you know the answer to this, and you’re just being coy, PoP, because you have a framework of the details of the story here, but you’re not putting 2 and 2 together.

Yeah, Andy Shallal owns Busboys, and some of the people in the condos upstairs have been angry with him over garbage removal since the place opened.
