Shady Dealings

Earlier this summer, when I first moved in, our neighborhood was much more exciting. Maybe it was the heat, which seems to drive everyone outdoors. My friends and I spent virtually the entire summer sitting on a couch on the porch, escaping the heat of the house. As I mentioned in my previous post, a few of our neighbors were incredibly suspicious. An older women, and a 20-something year old man with a gaping hole in his rotting teeth would spend all of their time outdoors, sitting in front of their house. This wouldn't seem suspicious in itself, if they wouldn't have continually been walking up and down the street, directing all sorts of people to their home. It became quite clear after a while that dealings of the most shady nature were taking place. My guess from the lack of teeth, and the way the older woman would periodically pass out sitting on the curb or her home, that they were dealing some sort of drug, either meth or cocaine. Eventually, from what I heard from my other neighbors, they were both arrested and taken away. I didn't see it happen, but I haven't seen them since.
