I did read it.
You have grocery stores that you avoid driving past for safety reasons
Do you people realize how uptight and crazy you sound?
Oh man ... that is so, so true, about crazy drivers. If you go to a place that caters to the dregs of humanity, I’ll guarantee you ... you’ll see CRAZY DRIVERS, too!
What’s uptight and crazy about noticing that if you go past a certain grocery store every day in a week at least once and probably twice you nearly get creamed? Pattern recognition isn’t crazy, it’s a basic building block of survival, if we didn’t have it we’d still grab things out of the oven without mitts and burn ourselves all the time. It’s also the basic building block of demographics, which tells us that indeed each store does attract an identifiable grouping of people that will have traits in common, often times seemingly traits that have nothing to do with the store.
So the idea that Store X draws a higher percentage of the city’s crappy drivers than other stores isn’t crazy at all. And you can prove it to yourself if you come to Tucson, drive past the Frys at Grant and Alvernon a few times, especially right up on it, north bound on Alvernon. Just make sure you’re well insured.
