Two shootouts near my home in two days. Probably not over a lot of money or even a woman. Just stupidness. Thanks people.
That parking lot has always been a shitshow. I don’t know what else to say.
If you don’t no what is going on in the CD shut the fuck up. Stop making assumptions about things you don’t no. Talking out your ass.
Please enlighten us. And grammar and spelling matter. It is Know, not no.
as a long time resident of the CD, I can say with complete confidence that the Walgreens parking lot of 23rd & Jackson has been and is a shit-show. :)
It’ll be interesting to see how Vulcan deals with it since they own both sides of the street. If it causes issue with the new development across the street, I wonder if they just go ahead and demo the Walgreens side, since they plan to redevelop it at some point anyway.
Another reason for that parking lot/strip mall at 23rd and Jackson to be redeveloped, hopefully with lots of housing like the new apartment buildings across the street.
If anyone says that that strip mall isn’t a shitshow then they don’t really “no” the CD… Just sayin
All i know is that gunfire erupted from a van and people returned fire from the parking lot. It lasted for about a minute and a half. Shit was crazy!
