I was out of town (that post to follow shortly), but according to Miss Heather, the other night at 1 AM, there was an armed robbery on the corner of my street. Two guys—at least one with a gun—approached a couple and stole their stuff, including a laptop. Then they fled down North 11th and made a turn on Roebling. No doubt right down Rapey Alley. (Here's another shot of it—I like this one because it looks like an outtake from an afterschool special about the dangers of LSD.)
Call me a wuss, but scaffolding is creepy. At least they've finally added lights to ours, but so far I have found lurking: a sofa (okay, not creepy, just large), a man's jacket (obviously torn off his body), and a backpack that someone had helpfully emptied of its contents. Maybe it belonged to the jacket-owner, who knows. But by far, the creepiest thing I've found in Rapey Alley lurks after the jump—
I agree with you, scaffolding makes me nervous on several levels. This might really be rapey AND robbery alley! Terrifying.
