| as someone who's lived in this area since 1980, I don't think much about the ghetto people who roll in this area. They see me and just uptight white guy, with no money, so they leave me along. It helps I have some size despite my short stature, LOL.
I use to love going to the super old theaters, especially the second run movie theaters. I remember back in 1994, I would drive to richmond to the Hilltop Mall. The theater had $1 admission tickets. Bridge toll was only $1 and gas was approximately $1.50/gal. So the trip would cost me about $5 a date, the cost of one ticket to local theater. I would just go by work for free food to feed the date, LOL.
Me and the hood don't have problems because I don't go there looking for trouble, and I'm there for purpose. Only the little wannabe hood mess with me, but since they want to be hoods, the back down at the littlest provocation. And you may be surprised, most people don't talk in the theaters around here or talk on the phone that I've noticed. It should be noted, I can tune a lot of stuff out; I have two birds there never shut up, so I just learned it from having them. |
