Last weekend, my husband and I had to attend an event in the afternoon in an older part of town that has become somewhat rundown. We haven't been through that area in years. The demographic has really changed. On the way back home, we decided to stop at a convenience store and run in to get a fountain drink for the drive home. As we swung in to park, there were two young rapper-type young men standing in front of the only open parking spot in the small parking lot, which meant we had to walk around them to get in to the store. They were just standing there and looking at us and acting a little twitchy. I immediately said, "Nope! You're not parking here! Back out and let's go somewhere else."
My husband did so, and we ended up driving straight home. I hate that I can no longer feel safe during the daytime, but I've seen too much!
