Small Engine Repair

I would say more than a small engine needs repair.
Three or four years ago, on Christmas Eve, someone walked into
this building and shot the owner and his wife, mortally wounding them.
This building is right next to the house in which Elaine (my wife) grew up.
I think more than small engine repair was going on in the facility.
Rough area of town.

Great photo and sad/gruesome story. I have walked several times past a house in which the owner was shot dead at his front door (never solved). It's a spooky feeling to see such a place when you know what happened there.

Sad story.
I like the shot though. Esp the old truck/car on the right.

A sad history even for such a rough looking place!

Sad, sad story and image... -- although I agree with Karen: the picture says it all....

Whoa!

And what a sad, decrepid (sp?) old building. Wonder if it's haunted?

A sad tale..Don

What a tragic story, Don! And it must be heartbreakng for Elaine.
It does tell the story of roughness, even without the background story.
