…I’d live over a deli.

Frank Rogers wrote it in 1978.
Do ya think this boy heard him? I would venture a guess at yes. Customize and survive.
If you’re gonna live above a deli, it won’t be here in Arlington, VA. Nosirree, Boris. Mixed use is forbidden* and delis do not exist. Not a proper deli at which a person could shake a salami. As far as living above a store goes, we like to keep things clean, conventional and zoned. It’s a double edged slicer.
Could we think a bit more out of the (big) box (store), people?
Like I said, when I rule the universe, there will be a corner store at every intersection – adjacent to a tavern, a deli in every neighborhood, and it’ll be a crazy, mixed up, exciting world to be in.
