The grocery chain stores might have dropped a few bucks in the right pockets
because they have no fit produce to sell, but for whatever reason the
roadside stands of independents who used to bring us farm grown stuff on all
kinds of fruit and vegetables have been outlawed.  The published 'reason'
was that folks stopping along the highway to buy were creating a hazard for
other motorists..  Sure, they were.  They were most likely making them kick
themselves in the seat of the pants while driving for not having time to
stop, too!  

Actually, there is a 'farmer's market' that opens a couple of days a week
but parking isn't nearby. Finding a place to park is in reality parking your
car to see if it's still there when you get back.  Crime is going wild here
and seems destined to get worse.  The old South doesn't exist any more.
Drive-by shootings are killing a few every week and all the restaurants and
retail stores in the southeast section of town where I am, that used to be
crime free, have begun to be plagued by holdups and robberies now that the
criminal element is creeping in.  The police are reluctant to go into
certain sections of town, like where I grew up, because dope dealers have
them outgunned.

The daily paper has stopped running pictures of all the family turmoil for
survivors of those who have been killed -- many being innocent bystanders
hit by stray bullets from rival gangs.  The recent news on TV showing a cab
driver being robbed and beaten is just the tip of the iceberg, as they say.
That area has been a trouble spot for years.  Several hundred people gather
there every weekend and play their car stereos wide open and drink, use
dope, and block a US Highway so motorists have to go around it.  The only
reason the cab driver episode got filmed was because some of the people
there had camcorders to photograph the teen girls stripping and dancing on
the top of cars, which also is a weekly passtime for the low life trash that
populates that crowd.  I wouldn't take a camera in there short of being
inside a tank with overhead helicopter gunships shining their lights on the
crowd!
