Da ‘hood

Since the day we moved here to this neighborhood two years ago, it’s been crazy.  I’ve witnessed and gone to court for a domestic assault case, watched a kid selling drugs in the middle of the afternoon and watched little kids wandering around at all hours.  Pizza Hut quit delivering to our house after dark because they’ve been robbed too often.  Last Thursday/Friday morning we woke up at 3AM to hear gun shots outside our house.  It was terrifying and as far as I know, no one has been caught.  I guess no one was murdered so that is good.  I was worried about stray bullets hitting us but thankfully we weren’t in the trajectory.

Talk about motivation to get the hell out of this area.  I’ll definitely check out the crime maps before we move though.  I just want to live somewhere in peace.  I have to admit I’m nervous in my own home.  Thank god I have loud dogs…they are a good deterrent, I hope.

So here is what our ‘hood looks like.  Seems pretty peaceful, doesn’t it?
