Perkiomen Cafe

Rising up from the Dust. I have to admit i have only recently been going to the Perky even though i have lived around the corner from it for a long time now! There is a new owner and he is freshening things up in there! The food was good and the atmosphere was relaxed. I could go and have a drink without a millions people touching me that i don't even know! It feels good to be able to walk outside and have a cigarette while trusting my coat inside! Anyone who hasn't been here lately should come and check out the new pool table. Also the owner is having some little events i.e. a ping pong tournament and other fun little things. I think everyone should try out the Perky again!…

Actually Sarah, the only trash in Oaks is the Perky.. Ironic that you think the problem is the properties AROUND the bar. I know some very hard-working, decent families who unfortunately can't afford to live in Mcmansions, and own (not rent) property next to the Perky. (Economic class prejudice much?) Up until recently, the Perky was divey, but not nearly the nuisance that it is today.

The reason the surrounding properties look trashy is because there is no point bothering to make their property look pretty. This is because 1. drunks keep throwing their trash in people's yards, 2. drunks vandalize the surrounding properties, and 3. the property value has plummeted for some completely mysterious reason.…
