I drove for Domino’s Pizza in Meriden CT (small, post industrial poor city) about 25 years ago. I would not go to Springdale Ave. after 10PM, that was the Diablos turf. If I knew where the Latin Kings hung out, I wouldn’t have gone there, either.
Bet you didn’t go to the Mills Apartments either...LOL
I used to work 2nd shift at the Meriden Rolling Mills and can attest to the danger of walking around at night in that area, it has not gotten better over the years either.
