With no location mentioned I had to search for it. Highland Park is up behind Fort Humboldt.

Glen Street….

used to have an old ship in the park junkies would needle up in and smoke marijuana. The ship is gone, the baseball field is nice, and the city is quick to paint over the gang tags.

The alley by the round about used to be full of hookers, but EPD cleared them out.

The area is full of junk Pierson homes and isn’t anywhere you’d want to raise children, due to drugs, weirdos, grow houses, and gangs.

The city has really put some effort into the park, but the neighborhood is bad.

A few houses down was where that guy shot himself three times in the head and blew up the house using the gas line about ten years ago.

Highland Park should be renamed Mos Eisley after Star Wars, more fitting than the Henry Ford reference.

Did he shoot himself in the head 3 times before or after using gas lines to blow up the house?

Would he be interested in blowing up basketballs?
