A Shooting on Minna Street

The main window from my loft overlooks the 500 block of Minna Street, between 6th and Russ. Minna is the street that’s been the bane of my living here, filled with all sorts of noise and trouble ranging from trash trucks every day to 12 year old wanna be gangbangers smoking pot to men beating up women while walking down the street. To add insult to injury, there was a shooting in the apartment building that my window looks upon where a man was killed over a dispute in a card game. It’s time to move.
