Corner of 1st & 7th
For the last two and half years, I have avoided the corner of 1st & 7th. Which is hard, because I live so close by. I had been walking to get a gatorade from the store one morning in November 2023 and I passed by what I had initially assumed was a minor car accident or something. There were people screaming though and I obviously looked to see what was going on. I don’t even want to type it out.
Some days I can’t think about anything else. The visuals are so horrifically seared into my memory. I don’t know if there is anyone else in this subreddit who was as deeply affected by what happened there in November 2023 but I wanted to take a chance and reach out here if anyone was.
I’m sorry if this is not the right place to ask. Tonight has just been one of those nights where it is all I can think about.
