saturday july 4

today i began walking down woodward avenue toward comercia park with a couple friends a few hours before the tigers/jays game was scheduled to start, anticipating that we’d take our time to explore a little and then grab some food and a beer somewhere before eventually going to the park. about two minutes into our walk, a van pulled up beside us and a couple of middle-aged jays fans asked if we wanted a ride to the game. while it certainly was a nice offer, it was hard not to notice that they seemed to be more worried - on our behalf - about the neighbourhood than they - or we - needed to be.
