More Stories from the Hood

Here's just a little story about a bit of street justice that happened to me today. It will also give you an example of what a "ghetto" my town is becoming. I was driving in on my way to the gym this morning. I drive an old beat-ass Dodge pick-up truck because it gets amazing miles per gallon...ok, that’s not true, it was the only thing my broke ass could afford. I stopped at a red light and right next to me some f*ing hobo is walking down the street carrying what clearly looks like a glass with a mixed cocktail in it. He looks at me and says, “A Dodge? Ya shoulda bought a Ford!” I just responded, “Ok Boxcar Willie, I’ll keep that in mind next time I find myself car shopping.” He was lucky that I was in a good mood because I usually don’t let people disrespect my whip like that.

Cut to two hours later, a busted up, hunk of crap, old Ford minivan is being pushed into my parking lot off of the street by a couple guys. Great, another broken down car that will sit in my lot for a week. The door opens and out comes the anti-Dodge, morning cocktail drinking, shitbag dude that insulted
my truck! I walked out there and said, “Yo Willie, How’s that Ford working out for ya? Oh by the way, you have exactly one hour to get that pile of crap off my property!” He just mumbled some shit about Obama, like it was all his fault.

But still he’s luckier than the drunk in this newspaper photo from our daily paper who walked out of a bar two doors down from the gym and fell 20 feet into this drainage crevice in broad daylight that turned into this massive rescue effort. You can see Iron Sport Gym in the background. Yay Glenolden!
