We stayed off Rampart this year (again), and ventured out for seafood boil at King Roger's a couple of times. Reminded me of walking almost a half mile to go 5 blocks in East Oakland doing the "good-block, bad-block" shuffle to avoid known bad boys and bad scenarios. We walked up to the store just in time to see the street-fight erupt on Rampart & they just walked it right into traffic. That was a savvy move that saved one guy a worse beating. The fight didn't have anything to do with us, so we went in and got our crawfish. It did make me wonder what it'd be like to have to run that gauntlet everyday, tho'.
