To tell you the truth, Willie, I can't get a white guy to take me down there. They
feel like a moving target in that area at night. That's not the way it should be.
And you're right. I haven't been shot. Not yet. And I don't want to be. I wasn't
in Arnellia's the night the guy came in with his gun cocked and firing into the crowd.
But I could have been. I was planning on going Sunday night for the benefit when the
Westside Band was playing. Had a special invite. But I didn't think it was a good
time to go. Too volatile. Shooter still on the loose.
How many shootings have been at Arnellia's in recent years? How many fights? How many
police calls?
And hey, I love getting down and sweaty on Arnellia's dance floor better than anyone.
But I want to feel safe coming and going, you know what I mean?

That's very interesting and I understand how you could feel, to a point. But to my
recollection, white women have not been victims there. As a matter of fact the last
victim was a Black male. Arsenio Hall used to say HMMMMM! wan The Midway Lurker

Well, Willie, you're not a white woman. The only way I will go down to Arnellia's
at night is if I have a large black man to escort me. And even then, sometimes it
gets tense.
I'm wondering how many people have to be shot at Arnellia's before some serious
measures are taken. Yes, it needs a better police presence. Yes, it needs better
lighting. Yes, there has to be more cooperation with the city to clean up the area.
Yes, there has to be a reevaluation of programming and events. And Yes, they have to
do a better job of cleaning up the drug traffic. Sheesh. Everytime I go to White
Castle I could arrest a half dozen for dealing.
But the city, the police and Arnellia's owners can't keep ignoring the problem and
keep hoping it goes away. They need to get serious.
