Broadway Street Marketplace Robbed
The Marketplace at 3rd and Broad was robbed* late last night. I remember 2 or 3 other serious incidents there over the past year. In addition to the crowded bus stop, it’s a popular meeting place for folks with no particular place to go. If it was a bit more savory, it would be a convenient place to shop. In other good news there was a robbery yesterday morning in front of my building. I’m glad Marty Jewell thinks downtown is safer than the Chesterfield Mall. That must be a real shooting gallery.
