Back in the 80s and 90s, if you thought of gangs in Tacoma, you thought of Hilltop. Now? The eastside is where the real trouble is. It’s like the crime capital of Tacoma, and McKinley Ave is its rotten heart.
My cousin got jumped on McKinley Ave last week. He says it was like a horror movie.
I saw a guy get shot on the corner of 12th and McKinley. It was like a bad episode of The Wire.
My mom says if I don’t behave, I’ll end up on the eastside with the rest of the trash.
