In any event, in neither venue is the crispness of the lettuce a priority.

Even gangsters have to eat, no?

In New Orleans there used to be a local chain of supermarkets, Schwegmann's, that carried everything, sort of like a Super Walmart, groceries, tires, room air conditioners, at a discount price.

There was even one close to the Desire Housing Project, the ones the cops were afraid to go to at night.

The printing plant I worked at last before law school was very near there, and I used to shop there on my way home from work. It was easy to tell the days the various checks came, they'd be jam packed. Bright lights and cops with shotguns made me feel relatively safe. And gangsta types would never be caught dead shopping with their moms. But we moved away before the gangsta stuff started, just missed it.

I didn't realize how anxious I was all the time until we moved away. Can't be good for you.
