funny you should mention that..me and my gf were there maybe a month ago to just shop and take a couple pictures, some crazy ass fool in a wheelchair comes up to us while we were parking and is asking how we are and how the photography business is going (keep in mind we have never seen him before and both our cameras are in the trunk). then he starts yelling at us and saying that i took his picture and he wants it back and if not then he needed a million dollars for it.
at that point he pulled out a shank and jumped out of his wheelchair, no lie. i threw the car in reverse and got the FUUUUck out of there haha.
i have been near downtown towards the ten freeway after dark and it is sketchy as fuck over there. luckily the two times i have been caught there late it has been with people that lived in the area and knew the people, but i would never go there after dark alone, especially with a camera.
do you live near downtown?
