Bad nabe. Where the swamp meets the Avocados and the trailers, if you catch my drift.

Good shot by the store owner.

We were on SW 248th st pre-Andrew, in the good ole days. Even then, I always carried, even on our own property, or especially on our own property.

Anyone wearing a ski mask into your business when the weather is not snow / sleet / freezing rain / bitter wind outside (or if it’s not Halloween) should be fair game for a premptive shot.
