Years back one of the millions of realtors here in SMA dubbed a certain Colonia as San Miguel's Greenwich Village…two days ago I saw a man casually point a handgun at a truck in broad daylight in said Colonia…the truck sped away…just like in the Village on 6th Avenue back in 1977 when a guy pointed a gun at the crowd waiting in line to see Rocky Horror…I turned and walked away expecting to be shot….but it was not my time…ahhh the highlighted moments of gentrified bohemia….would you like almond milk with your latte? Strange things happen everyday all over the world including in our fair hamlet…gentrification leads to all sorts of surprises ….the answer for me lies in witnessing my reaction….at first I felt fear because the fellow with the gun saw me…so I just turned around….and walked in the other direction….a bohemian rhapsody in the spring of sciatical step…
