No Wonder

No wonder I didn't get picked for jury duty. I noticed this sign posted on the door to the jail a few weeks ago.Apparently amid some controversy the city jail has been closed. Having grown up in Ossining, residing down the street from the jail doesn't feel unusual. Living near the Oakland jail I have learned the importance of my bail bond rights. The bail bond places (there must be a better name for these places) tend to advertise late at night educating the insomniacs. Since I walk by the storefronts on my way to work and know all the company names I pay attention to the commercials. I've decided on Aladdin Bail Bonds if I'm ever in need. Anyway, with the jail closing I was concerned these places would go out of business but as it turns out the prisoners are just moving down the street to the county jail. The construction crews are already in the process of tearing apart the old jail. Not sure if it's a remodeling project or a tear down. Is this soon to be the next city block to become part of Jerry Brown's vision?
