GAMBLING, GAMBLING AND MORE GAMBLING!

A very convenient 24-hour food store recently closed, much to the the displeasure of the residents of our building, not to mention the employees of the store who lost their jobs, only to be replaced by yet another game/gambling house - which will make three in our building alone. Such places are located on nearly every block in the city - often with 2, 3 or 4 together on the same block. The economic crisis has hit Ukraine quite hard in many areas. Many here are losing the jobs, or being informed that they will be receiving less than half of their normal salary. Gambling houses and game rooms are NOT what our community needs!

On this corner of my apartment building is a small sporting goods shop, then a photo processing shop, a game hall/shop next to which will be located the new gambling house/game room.






Shown here "Games Automatic" hall, neighbor to the photo shop and future new and larger gambling hall (previously our little 24 hour mini market).








This view shows the other end of our building housing at the corner a cafe-bar, whose neighbor is another automatic game hall, next to which is a furniture store.
