Sometime in 1981 - 1984, I watched a Young Boy get shot at a carwash located
on 6 Mile Road between Greenfield and the Southfield Freeway Service Drive.
I worked at a flower shop across the street and would nosy the activity at the
wash
Flower Shop
One day a man pulled in for a wash. I recognized him by the campaign hat he
wore, the gold, the swagger, the ladies and the counting of the cash. Whilst
he stood on the street waiting for his car to finish, someone started shooting
at him
Next thing I saw was him lying on the ground
Before leaving the area, the girls with him removed items from his pockets as
he laid on the ground. At no time did I see the shooter(s), just the aftermath
Talk about the 80s' streets gone wild? Scandalous and barbaric at its very
best...
Just think. On my breaks, I would go across the street and chat with the
owner of the wash not even conceiving the danger I was getting in the
center of...illusion (an image or conception of something actual or real that
presents itself to the mind in an abnormal or distorted manner)
I got my ass out of dodge and did not return to 6 Mile; not particularly
because of that incident, but all the ones that followed...
