I lived downtown for awhile. I was mugged once, saw a man waving a gun around, and when some drug dealers were evicted they set a fire in the garage. Luckily it didn’t do too much damage and didn’t reach our flat on the second floor, but we were all evacuated and were standing out on the street at 3 in the morning while the firemen put out the fire. It was surreal, neighbors from other buildings brought us hot coffee and doughnuts.
Years later, a friend was looking for a housemate for an elderly relative who owned a Victorian over in Piedmont and she wanted someone she knew the woman would be able to trust, so she introduced us. We clicked, and I moved. Literally a month after I moved out, the owner of the Mom & Pop grocery by me was murdered by robbers.
I had last seen him when I went to tell him goodbye, and he had given me a gift basket. He was a wonderful man and everyone in that neighborhood was devastated. 😞
