Sign of the times...

A news story out of Ypsilanti caught my eye. Three guys ambushed a female security guard at the Maplewood Apartment complex on Chestnut & Huron River Drive next door to EMU's Rynearson stadium. They choked her unconscious with a chord. The story has a somewhat happy ending in that she wasn't raped or killed. The perps are still at large.

Twenty years ago my grandmother lived at Maplewood as did numerous other elderly singles and low income families. Around the same time and newly married, me and my young family lived there in the early 90's. It sure wasn't like that then. Sign of the times....
