B of A

I ordered new checks from Bank of America today. The old ones, from when I lived in Point Richmond, had the incorrect city and name and read:

"Robley Brownw
3 W Richmond Ave
Paint Richmond, Ca
94801"

Bank of America now charges $12 for new checks.

Then I hope they learned to use spell check.

Har! The irony is, they'd fucked up my checks BEFORE the "Paint Richmond" ones TOO. I've had to pay $24 dollars now and I still have no checks. B of A is just evil. Think I'm gonna switch to Washington Mutual...

Yeah - at least at WaMu there are no fees and the checks are not only cheap - but your shit is spelled correctly and they don't charge you several times if by some chance they do fuck it up.

wow... you lived in Paint Richmond? How cool... sounds like a lovely artists' colony. ;)

Hahah -- actually, it was this jacked up brick roominghouse, RIGHT next to the railroad tracks. Whenever a train passed, the whole building would quiver and shake. It was conveniently close to Devil's Triangle, which is a great park to pick up drugs and then get knifed. (I had to cut through there everyday on the way to Bart) Living in a roominghouse is totally surreal. I had to listen to the lady next to me beat her kid every night (I called C.P.S -- useless) and the crackwhore next to me turn tricks every night. Also, I saw one old hillbilly pull a gun on his son to get his hot plate back. That was kinda cool. Good times.

Well, I would presume the train-induced building quivering and shaking would behoove the turning of tricks, or if you ever had a girl over. I remember you mentioning some of that -- good times indeed. :)

Where do live at now? I imagine you miss being near a park like Devil's Triangle. The convenience of obtaining drugs and being knifed, all in one location! :) Perhaps I should look at that neighborhood if I move.....

I'm over near Golden Gate Park, at Baker and McAllister st.. I've lived in SF for the past 6 years, I just had to move over to the east bay for six months to pull my money together. I actually like the east bay a lot though. Mama's Royal Cafe, The Parkway Theater.. there's lotsa cool stuff over there!
