The radio is blaring "Gangsta’s Paradise" so loud it rattles my teeth, but all I can hear is the gossip about those sixty arrests in Hoboken; it feels like the whole neighborhood is snapping shut like a heavy book. I tightened my flannel shirt against the autumn chill, clutching my wallet tight after seeing bread hit nearly eighty cents at the corner store.
Everyone at the theater was buzzing about that movie *Seven*, their voices hushed and jagged as they described the gruesome ending. Between the rising price of gas and these constant police stings, I’m just trying to keep my head down and my eyes on the pavement.
Memories from that day
No memories yet. Add yours if you remember this day.
An E-3B AWACS crashes outside Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska after multiple bird strikes to two of the four engines soon after takeoff; all 24 on board are killed.
