another crash!

 

to answer your first question, yes, the happy hocker pawn shop is real. 

so, just drinking a tecate on a thursday afternoon on the fiesta's patio, then a screech of tires and--fuck! an old beast, a 64 buick electra 225, comes barreling down montgomery and then jumps the median.  it mows down an intersection camera (yay!) and careens into oncoming traffic, including a car with a little baby inside (boo!!). the sedan the buick crashed into was thrown back into a four car pile up.  two vatos get out of the buick, one stripped to the waist and another in a wife-beater.  they split in opposite directions, the half-naked one sprinting north to the apartment complex across the street, the other, clutching his shoulder and limping steadily south, disappearing down the alley. 

the baby was ok.
