The Ave is the strip of University Way where I used to work in college. It’s always been a dump, but last year there was a manslaughter that happened on the street. The above is a semi-interesting article about the incident.
Best quote: Aaron Miles, a 20-year-old hanging outside the show, was convinced it was his key to getting laid. “I think it’s cool [that skateboarding is] associated with violence, because it will get us more chicks. And parents will think we’re, like, mad violent people and tell their daughters, ‘You better not date that skateboarder.’ Then girls will want to fuck us.”
Miles, lounging on a ratty couch in the parking lot and obviously not getting laid, was the exception.

When I read that I imagined it to be read by Jason Meyes of Jay and Silent Bob.
“‘You better not date that skateboarder.’ Then girls will want to fuck us.”
SNOOTCH TO THE NOOTCH!
