is a trip isn't it? Especially coming from Boston, in your case. It's like a different world out here, people seem to be less connected to worldly issues.
I'm glad you didn't make it out north of town, to Sun Valley. You article probably would have been much more scrutinizing than it was. It's not that there aren't good people out there, but it sure as hell doesn't look friendly, with double-wides all over, and a fence made of chicken wire keeping the seven pit-bulls from attacking the mail carrier. Not to mention each "yard", if you can call it that, has a tleast one car missing something; a wheel, a door, paint, windows, etc.
Jumped by cowboys is a stretch my friend, this may be a small, wannabe Vegas, hick ass, dirty town (which is exactly what this place is, word for word) but we have some ruthless assholes here. MS-13 has left there mark here, as have a few other national and international gangs and criminal organizations.
Now I'mma come to Kenmore, or Back Bay, or Beacon Hill and start taking in what I see, and I'll write a column. Does everyone talk like they do in "The Departed" or "Gone Baby Gone"? Just kidding man, I've been to Boston a few times, and although your peoples is loud and obnoxious, they are good people. At least the ones I didn't start jawing with and try to fight. But even that was entertaining.
