    I haven't hung out on the Richmond Strip in 20 years, and you couldn't pay me enough $$$ to hang out there now.

    Haven't been there in a couple of years & don't plan on going back anytime soon.

    Too bad, the Richmond Arms is a really cool pub. Totally out of character with the rest of the crap on the strip.

    How low do you have to get to rob a Sonic car hop?

    That's just sad.

    They've already killed 2 people, so robbing a car hop is the least of their moral transgressions.

    Anyway, if you see two black males approaching you wearing PURPLE surgical gloves - RUN!

    The purple gloves are their calling card it seems...

    True. Didn't mean to make light of the deaths of two people. Robbing a car hop just caught my attention since most car hops are like 17 and female and are definitely unarmed.

    I didn't think you were making light of it.

    It's wierd though, even the lowest criminal has to know that a friggin Sonic car hop can't carry more than a few bucks change...

    Either they're hopped up on some crap, or just dead-enders out for a thrill...

    Right on. I wish it would move. It is a damn fun place to watch Premier League games with a bunch of trashed Brits.

    Maybe they're waiting for the inevitable shooting to try and sell the footage to Channel 2 for "The Big Story..."

    Maybe they're waiting for the random Richmond Strip skank to flash them...

    I met Robert Reid at the Richmond Arms. I used to drink that place up when I lived in Houston.

    Another shark bite please. :)

    I had no idea the Richmond strip was this bad, and I live two blocks away from that area. I always thought it was just a popular clubbing/party/dining area, but from what you guys are saying it sounds similar to how I heard Bellaire (the street, not the city) from 59 to Beltway 8 and beyond was a few years ago. You know, violence, gangs, drugs, etcetera.

    Hmmm...guess it's time to find a new place to live.
