I haven't been in Anaheim for years. I knew somebody would catch me on that one. ;-)

You see a lot of 'Goofys' in both those 'hoods.

The new police chief in Richmond has his work cut out for him, that's for sure.

I've been back in Texas for over 10 years now so I'm not even sure if that neighborhood is still like that. I though I heard that Disney bought it all up and tore most of it down for the new park.

As far as Richmond goes...somebody needs to tear that whole place down and start over. About 2 months ago I was helping my dad clean out his attic and found my old explorer uniform, there was still broken beer bottle part in the jacket from my last ride-a-long.

Back in '89 my explorer post worked security for one of Tyson's fights, the city paid HBO to be able to show the fight at the Richmond civic center and then charged people $30 buck to see the fight. Tyson knocked the guy out in 90 seconds and those people got TICKED! They wanted their money back and the only people between the angry mob and the money was a bunch of 14-17 year old kids wearing police uniforms. The police station was across from the civic center but it seemed like hours before the real cops got there.
