No name scrabble this morning, although it does appear that the good guys are winning.
Hard to determine from the excerpt if we have a DRT or a DOT in the Houston incident, but at least the D part isn’t in question.
Very sketchy neighborhood, it would be more shocking if someone WASN’T shot there. I wouldn’t walk there at night – unarmed or armed.
My thoughts, exactly, David.
I made the mistake of going on Lyons Ave after dark. Once. About 1970. Took a friend home and his brother about shot me because he didn’t recognize the vehicle.
I did not repeat that mistake. West Little York is one of Those Areas. Not sure who their Representative is, but I’d bet my next 20 years wages that they have a (D) after their name.
