Ok, so one of the things Nick and I have been puzzling about since we moved across town is why we are suddenly never more than a block away from a bail bonds office.
Seriously, go one block in any direction and you'll find one.
(Incidentally, and possibly relatedly, go two blocks and you'll find an actual jail, but it's just a women's minimum security jail, and it's got pretty trees. It actually looks more pleasant than the nursing home next to it.)
It's a bit puzzling, since our neighborhood doesn't really strike me as the sort of neighborhood where a lot of bail bonds would be necessary. Certainly no more so than our old neighborhood, which had no bail bond offices. A store that sold both liquor and guns, sure, but no bail bonds.
Perhaps it's because there are so many, that they are getting competitive. As we passed by one on a bike ride this weekend, Nick pointed out their sign, stating that they were running a special.
A special.
On bail bonds.
I wonder if that changed anyone's weekend plans.
"What are you doing this weekend?"
"Well, I was going to be a law abiding citizen, but then I saw that they're having a special on bail bonds! Only 5% down! So I figure, what the hey? Say, what are you up to? They're doing a doing a two for one special!"
