That happens to be the gas station around the corner from me. I went to bed last night around 12:30.
I don't care. I still like my neighborhood (D, don't be scared off!). Just nobody tell my mom....
I lived in a duplex in one of the priciest zip codes in town, and found out that there was a rapist hitting up the apartments several streets down.
Did not tell my mom, either. But only walked places in the daytime. Austin has sucky lighting in the neighborhoods.
However...the big ticket scares may go straight to national news. My mother called in a panic when she heard that a woman's body had been dumped in the parking lot behind a small church. It was probably four miles from my house, an area I never went (and the killer was probably from another area) but when your daughter lives in "Hurst" (a mere burg alongside Dallas and Ft. Worth) the mention of female violent death and zip code does grab the attention.
See, I hadn't heard about it yet. Started taking the newspaper after that. Local paper or feed very important...
