Oh, and BTW, I’m from this area. W. 128 and Linnet is about a mile, or slightly less, from where I grew up (In fact, the police spokesman in the story, Officer Stacho, was a neighbor of ours)
It was a working class blue collar neighborhood, and used to be, ahem, non-diverse.People used to leave their doors unlocked. Last time I was there, a couple years ago, I noted the security company signs in front yards of small bungalows, the many unkempt houses, where they used to all be quite nice, and the security bars on doors and windows.
I’m glad they’ve made so much progress. It’s so much more vibrant now and the flava’s much more fresh.
Mac, I’m heading over to Cam’s market on Miles Ave. in a few minutes. I will get to again gaze upon the ruin that was once the vibrant Randall Mall.
