the 'hood

Just got this bit in an e-mail from the Pleasant Valley Neighborhood Association:

"I assume that most of you know and have heard about this over the news, but in case you haven't, I'd like to make you aware of some recent crimes nearby.  There have been several crimes committed in the past couple of weeks in the shopping center at 31st and West Colorado, near Kentucky Fried Chicken and Papa Murphy's.  Both were in the evening.  A man was hit with a baseball bat and robbed at 9 p.m. one night behind Kentucky Fried Chicken.  The news stated that they expected the victim "to survive."  Papa Murphy's was robbed several nights ago as well.  Please, please be very cautious and aware in this shopping center as there appear to be a number of homeless folks always around that shopping center.  Hopefully, the police and local businesses are doing something to help increase security around there."

That's Red Rock Lounge country!  Totally coincidence that NMP visited there one night and woke up the next morning with broken bones and no cash.

Do homeless people actually carry baseball bats and attack people? They don't even have a hideout to run to. That's like robbing your own kitchen. ??

Either way, that wouldn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about my local street corner.

The text is highlighted because it has a background color. In the Blogger post editor, it's the icon that looks like a highlighter pen.

I fixed it. By going back and re-typing the whole thing.

There are a lot of homeless folks who camp along the creek that runs between Colorado Ave and HWY 24. Scary story, but this is not a bad part of town to live in, that kind of crime is pretty rare.

This reminds me... Did the police ever find the guys who were robbing the bike stores in the Springs? I remember getting a link to a video of a robbery via the Incline Club newsletter.
