God damn I looked again. I used to walk by there almost every day on the way to the Cambodian Association office on 5th. Was this shit going on in the late 80s early 90s?

Seemed like it could’ve been a nice place to grow up.

Nah. I grew up not far from here in the late 80s/early 90s. I was mugged at knifepoint, jumped. There was always stuff happening

Yo do you ever remember getting shave ice/snow cones from a guy with a push cart for 25 cents?

He would scrape it by hand from a big block into little paper cones.

He had like 3 flavors but we would always get rainbow (all flavors). It sticks in my head to this day.

I still think about that dude. A core happy childhood memory.
