Perhaps they were never really gone. After a couple months of relative quiet, the crack dealers across the street have returned. During the half hour it took me to mow my front lawn Sunday afternoon, I witnessed four drug deals. As is often the case, within about 2 minutes of calling the police, the dealers cut and run, scattering like cockroaches.
In honor of their return, I am declaring next weekend "Crack Weekend." I will fill in all the cracks in the driveway, sidewalk and the foundation. Maybe I'll even paint the front steps while I'm at it - and wave at the crack dealers across the way. Weather permitting, of course.
Meanwhile, the local smoke shop - really, more paraphernalia than tobacco - has acquiesced in their fight against our neighborhood association and is leaving town. The shop was just around the corner and lacked parking, so I often had patrons parking in front of my house. Good riddance!
